Plavac Mali from Postup on Pelješac, from vineyards at 300–350 m. Steep slopes are accessible only on foot or by small tractor. A single-vineyard wine; extended maceration for better extraction; 12 months in French and American oak barriques, a mix of new and used. Full-bodied and very concentrated, with aromas of dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, stony salinity, leather, and dark chocolate. Rich and viscous in the mouth; typically for Plavac, marked but very ripe, rounded tannins. Pairs with steak, meat stews, and pašticada.
This wine represents the noblest face of Plavac Mali—the variety that defines southern Dalmatia. From steep Postup slopes, where sun, stone, and sea create perfect conditions, DUX 2021 has everything that makes Plavac recognizable: strength, fullness, richness, depth.
Ageing in French and American oak provides layers and complexity, while extended maceration extracts maximum aromatic and phenolic ripeness. Nose: dark berry fruit, dried plums, rosemary, leather, dark chocolate. Palate: full, warm, rounded, with a characteristic Dalmatian touch of minerality and salinity.
