Black Island Winery Merga Victa Pošip Sur Lie 2020

In the center of the island of Korčula, the freshwater ponds that feed the vineyards of the village of Smokvica are a remarkable gift of nature. Local people call this place “Merga Victa,” meaning “path for water” in old Dalmatian dialect. Vineyards are located on the outskirts of Smokvica, the birthplace of Pošip. Local people have planted indigenous grape varieties on terraced fields carved out of rocky hillsides, fed by the water from the streams. Today’s winemakers do most of their work by hand, just like their ancestors.

Pošip from Smokvica vineyards on Korčula island, kept on fine lees with battonage over 6 months and additionally aged in wooden barrels. It performs grapey and yeasty in the mouth, with some influence from ageing in wood and needs time in a glass to fully take shape. Structured for ageing in bottle.
