Our very first Bosnian wine is made from Žilavka, a native grape to the region. The grapes are hand-harvested and naturally grown in the historical lands of Herzegovina, filled with notes of white flower fields, ripe peaches, and minerality with a clean, fresh finish.

 

Perfectly balanced floral and herbaceous notes at the top of the glass. Fresh and tropical notes on the bottom.
Notes of chamomile, dry grass with a refreshing blend of juicy pineapple and overripe peach.
