Testament Plavac Mali

Decanter Gold — 95 Points
 
A gold-medal Plavac Mali with serious character. Deep ruby in colour, this expressive wine opens with aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry and dried fig, layered with notes of carob, Mediterranean herbs and warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, with concentrated dark fruit, subtle mineral character and well-integrated tannins. A touch of oak adds depth and complexity, while a pleasant freshness keeps the wine balanced. The finish is long, warm and gently spicy, showcasing the bold yet refined character of Dalmatian Plavac Mali.
 
Serving: Best served at 16–18°C to bring out its ripe fruit, spice and Mediterranean character.
 
Pairing: A natural partner for grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, game and hearty Mediterranean dishes. It also pairs beautifully with Dalmatian-style pašticada, aged cheeses and dishes featuring herbs, garlic and olive oil.
