Bjondina

Additional Information

Plavina is a variety with a typical Dalmatian character, lower alcohols and softer tannins, but higher acidity makes it extremely enjoyable. This fruit-forward, elegant, herbaceous and fresh light bodied red bursts with aromas of tart cherry and spices. Grape Variety: It is made from Plavina, an indigenous Dalmatian red grape variety known for producing lighter-bodied, fresh, and fruit-forward wines. Characteristics: The wine typically features aromas of sour cherry, plum, and Mediterranean herbs, often with soft tannins and a refreshing finish. Etymology: The name "Bjondina" translates to "blonde" in local Dalmatian dialect (derived from the Italian biondina), likely referring to the lighter, more elegant style of this red wine compared to the heavier, darker "Plavac Mali" reds common in the region.
