(973) 687-2161 vinumusa.com Name: Benmosche Dingač Plavac Mali Classification: Dry red wine Varietals: 100% Plavac Mali Appelation: Dingač, Pelješac Peninsula, Dalmatia, Croatia Density & Yield: 3,000 vines/ha; 0.5 kg/vine Annual Production: 2,000 bottles Alcohol: 14.7% Climate: Mediterranean, with dry and hot summers, and mild winters. Terrain: Steep 45° slopes, facing the Adriatic. Southern exposure, windy, 200-400m asl. Poor rocky soils, limestone mostly. Farming: Benmosche vineyards are fully organic and are the truest expression of the microclimate and land of Croatia’s southern Dalmatian coast. No irrigation, spraying only with sulfur in April. Vinification: Manual harvest, slightly raisinated grapes, destemmed, naturally fermented in open vats with manual punchdowns, 7 days maceration. 10 months in 225-liter French oak barrels, 15% new oak, coarse filtration, one year in bottles before release. Tasting Notes: Masculine wine of high extract and intense black fruit on the nose, along with pine and a note of dry hay. Full-bodied with ample acidity and tannin to support the lush, creamy black fruit including figs and blueberry jam and earthy notes of the palate. This extravagant wine is a natural match for the lamb dishes of its home country, and pairs well, too, with venison, hearty roasts and complex stews. Winery: Benmosche wines are a joint project of the Benmosche family from the United States and the Bura-Mrgudić family from Dalmatia. The founder, Robert Benmosche, the former chairman of Metlife and AIG, fell in love with Dalmatia in the early 2000s. He built a residence in Dubrovnik and acquired vineyards on Pelješac Peninsula. Robert’s love for this part of the world and passion for wine lives on in every bottle of Benmosche wines. Benmosche vineyards are farmed organically, and all the wines are made naturally under the supervision of the Bura-Mrgudić family..

Vina Croatia
Wines of CROATIA unique and exciting Croatia as a AUSTRIA modern country HUNGARY SLOVENIA CROATIA Croatia, having been eager to experience immediate changes, success and recognition, has, at the beginning of a new decade, totally altered its approach to life and business. A strong desire to earn quick money as well as rapid trade expansion have been replaced by more moderate, longer-term investment projects in the areas of viticulture, rural tourism, family hotels, fisheries, olive growing, ecological agriculture and superior restaurants. BOSNIA & The strong first impression of international brands has been replaced by turning to traditional HERZEGOVINA products, having their origins in a deep historic heritage. The expansion of fast-food chains was brought to a halt in the mid-1990’s as multinational companies understood that investment would not be returned as quickly as had been planned. More ambitious restaurants transformed into centres of hedonism, whereas small, thematic ones offering several fresh and well-prepared dishes are visited every day. Tradition and a return to nature are now popular ITALY Viticulture has been fully developed. Having superior technology at their disposal, a new generation of well-educated winemakers show firm personal convictions and aims with clear goals. The rapid growth of international wine varietals has been hindered while local varietals that were almost on the verge of extinction, have gradually gained in importance. Not only have the most prominent European regions shared their experience, but the world’s renowned wine experts have offered their consulting services. Biodynamic movement has been very brisk with every wine region bursting with life.

First Joint Venture Wine Label Created by Importer and Wine Association Croatian Premium Wine and Komarna Association Create a JV Label for the USA
First Joint Venture Wine Label Created by Importer and Wine Association Croatian Premium Wine and Komarna Association Create a JV Label for the USA Boston, Mass., February 4, 2020 CPWI and the K7 Association today announced availability of the Komarna Seven Plavac Mali label based on a joint venture between the importer in the US and the winery association. The Komarna Seven label, affectionately called K7, was created by involvement from all wineries in the Komarna Appellation. The first label produced K7 Plavac Mali, harvest of 2016. “In partnership with the Komarna wineries, we wanted to create a label specific for the American palate and the American market,” said Win Burke, CPWI’s co-founder and CEO. “This effort resulted in a very drinkable Plavac Mali with silky tannins and a special aroma characteristic of the Komarna Appellation. I believe this is the first of its kind joint venture where the wineries and importer are creating the wines, and we look forward to the feedback from the American wine lovers who will be the only ones able to taste it.” K7 Plavac Mali 2016 Mihovil Stimac, the president of Komarna Seven Association commented “We always wanted to create a joint label, but we are a young appellation and association, so the opportunity didn’t present itself until the Croatian Premium Wine team suggested we create a label for the US market, and we are thrilled we were able to get this done for the 2020 introduction.” The winemakers from all wineries met for a blind tasting of several versions of blends created by Josip Volarevic, owner and oenologist of the Volarevic Winery, who is also a scientist and an academic, and is currently working on PhD research about Plavac Mali.
