Stina Vugava 2022

Tasting Notes:  "Vugava is the grape, a Croatian original born on the island of Vis, and one of the shining lights of the Croatian wine revolution. This is a high-quality version from nearby Brac Island made by the excellent Stina Winery, evident right off the top, one of those lovely, stony, sun-drenched white and yellow fruit-flavoured Mediterranean whites with citrus blossom notes, rich body, bright, balancing acids and perfectly dialed lees influence. This is exciting wine, full stop. Check it out."
