Testament Opolo

Tasting Notes: "A summery, organic rosé wine made from the indigenous Dalmatian red grape variety Babić. The vineyards are located along the Adriatic Sea in Northern Dalmatia and the wine is harvested earlier in the season to preserve acidity and freshness. The wine is juicy with red berry and floral flavours along with a perceptible salinity and herbal note on the mid-palate to finish. Dry but fruity with balanced acidity and medium-long finish."  Janet Dorozynski, DipWSET, PhD
 
Serving Recommendation: 10°C
 
Vinification: Grapes are selected from vineyard and picked early in the morning and processed same day.  Fast processing (the fruit is destemmed, crushed and gently pressed with two hours of skin contact).  Fermented for two months with lees stirring. Testament vineyard is located on the hillsides of Jadrtovac ranging from 70 to 100 m above sea level. Vines are planted in limestone karst with less than 20% soil - these harsh conditions result in premium grapes.  All vineyard work is competed manually, and the wine is certified organic.
