Mimica Old Omiš Prošek

Although the winery with long family heritage, the story of the Mimica winery started in 2003 when three grape vines of Crljenak were found in the owner’s vineyard the southern slopes of Omiška Dinara, which would later become the winery’s main vineyard. After the discovery, Mr Mimica decided he should start the vineyard in that location and was the only one, along with Mr. Plenković committed to the revitalisation of the old grape variety known as Crljenak, Tribidrag or Pribidrag. The discovery of Crljenak was significant because it solved the mystery of Californian Zinfandel and Italian Primitivo.

This prošek is a wine symphony of aromas, flavours, pleasure and health prepared in Dalmatia since immemorial. It has always been especially valued, so it was most often made for one’s own needs and kept for guests’ honour during family, national and religious holidays. In the time of the Romans, dessert wine was produced in Dalmatia from dried grapes, which they called Vinum Sanctum (sacred wine). In 1722, an Italian travel writer wrote about the “old Omiš Prošek” produced from the varieties of Pribidrag and Muscat roses from Omiš. This prosecco was made from dried grapes according to such and such a recipe.
