In 1993, the company changed its name to Zlatan Otok. Under this name, we continue to do our business. Our vineyards are located in the south area of the Hvar Island, where Plavac Mali is the predominant variety, and in the Podbiokova area in the Makarsko Vinogorje, where we planted a new vineyard in 2004, on the altitude between 30m and 400m above sea level. The vineyard lies under the Biokovo highlands. 650 000 vines grow there, on 75 ha of surfaces. Most of them are of the Plavac Mali variety. In addition, we also planted: Crljenak (Zinfandel), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, while white grapes comprise mostly old varieties: Pošip, Žilavka, Dubrovačka Malvazija, and also Chardonnay and Žuti Muškat (Yellow Muscat). We are currently in the process of obtaining the Croatian Organic Certificate. From the very beginning of our operation, we have been successful at various competitions at home and abroad, among others: Zagreb, Zurich, Bordeaux, Ljubljana, the Gast trade fair … Our wines regularly place amongst the very best. Over one hundred awards, medals and championship titles adorn our walls.

Contact: antonia.buratovic@inet.hr ***Zlatan Plavac Barrique*** The wine is made from the grapes of the variety Plavac Mali, which have ripened in various vineyards on the southern slopes of the Hvar Island. The maceration of grapes lasts for 7 to 8 days. The wine maturates for one year and a half in new and old barriques, and for another half a year in bottles. The ripe barrique wine has a dark red colour with shades of burnt orange. Rich and complex nose with light animal note and aromas of dried plums, cherry kernel and chocolate. Rich, concentrated and savoury palate with a lingering aftertaste. This wine will only begin to reach its peak after six years of maturation. | Mi_Z | 2010/01/16 |
