2021 Brkić Žilavka

 85% Žilavka, 15% Bena and Krkošija (local varietals); all grown biodynamically on Karst plateau soils rich in limestone, surrounded by hills and high mountains. Fermented with native yeast in stainless steel, aged for 3 months on the lees and bottled unfiltered.  This wine is a refreshing reflection of the Mediterranean terroir of Mostar: bright yellow and green fruits on the nose, lemon zest and dried Mediterranean herbs. Packed with flavors of Anjou pear, sage and oregano with balanced acidity. Enjoy chilled, with fresh vegetables, white pasta, grilled fish and shellfish.Refreshing and light at 12.25% alcohol.  Only 1000 bottles made.  Vino Brkic started with a whisper in the late 70s, Pasko Brkic planted vineyards in Citluk—a wine district located just south of Mostar in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina—at 800-1,300 feet above sea level.
