ROSE MICHELLE | Plavac mali Rose

When the sweet berries of the autochthonous Plavac mali variet ripen, on the slopes of the Peljesac peninsula turn into Rose, then you get a perfectly fresh and light wine, with a pleasant smell of watermelon and strawberries, and a fluffy style, ideal for refreshment on hot summer days. Moderate acidity, sharpness and rich primary fruit aromas are achieved by a short maceration of only two hours, followed by fermentation and aging in stainless steel barrels.

This wine of a very delicate pink color shows how a traditional Dalmatian variety such as Plavac mali can produce a modern and spontaneous wine with completely different characteristics. With its softness and freshness, Rose Michelle is the complete opposite of the characterful, powerful strain from which it is made.

It is an extremely fresh wine, medium-bodied, with a rich and long-lasting taste, which is easy to combine with food. It is drunk as a one-year-old wine, ideally up to 10 months of age. It is served chilled at temperature of 8-10°C, and goes well with all light summer food, especially fish dishes.
