A vintagewritten by the sea.

I

The Vineyard

Rooted in white stone.

Forty-degree terraces of karst limestone, hand-built by four generations, drink the sea light 2,700 hours a year.

II

The Cellar

Eighteen months of patience.

Beneath the domaine, French oak barriques breathe in the cool dark — softening tannin, deepening colour, gathering spice.

III

The Table

Poured by candlelight.

Black cherry, violet, cracked pepper — a wine made to slow down an evening, and to be remembered after it.

The grape

Plavac Mali. Small, blue, untamed.

A child of Zinfandel's Croatian ancestor, it ripens unevenly on purpose — sweet berries beside tart ones — giving the wine its rare tension of power and freshness. Tap the cluster to explore.

01 · Pulp & seed

The quiet heart

Translucent, honeyed pulp gives the sugar; two hard seeds give a whisper of grip. We press gently, so the seeds never break.

Côte de Sel. Where vines see the sea.
