Merlotina from Dubrovački podrumi, is high quality wine made from vintage Merlot from the vineyard planted in 1979 on the fields of the Konavle valley. Freshness and ripeness, in its specific Dalmatian way. The nose is more new world. With a particularly spicy character. Intense tobacco aromas dominate, followed by sweet jammy notes reminiscent of prunes, then spicy notes like coco or vanilla, with hints of cedar and a bit of dark chocolate. But the flavor is unusually fresh, balanced and elegant. As if it weren’t from Dalmatia. The first impression is the juicy and ripe fruitiness, in the middle you realize it’s very rich, in spite of the elegance, and in the end there come peppery such as black pepper, ending with a tasty sweet note, in spite of its complete dryness. There’s a clear association with the Super Tuscan and modernist Bordeaux. The wine has been nurtured in the best oak barrels selected.
