Hand harvested in early October, fermented with indigenous yeasts in open vessels; macerated for 2 weeks. Aged for 10 months in used Serbian and French oak barrels of 225l. Unfined, unfiltered and minimal sulfur addition used at bottling. Tasting Notes: Splet captures a wine of cultures and terroir intertwined. Combining Kristina’s experience and fondness for the wines of Beaujolais – and international varietals in the region (Gamay) – with the deep terroir of the Negotin Valley, and the indigenous grapes that thrive there (Vranac). It is a fruity wine with both elegance and intensity, showing a dark red-violet color. The bouquet is rich in earthy and stemmy notes, packed with deep red fruits such as dark cherry and raspberry. The body is deep but balanced, with silky balanced tannins and a lift of acidity behind the dark red fruit. The finish reveals delightful notes of liquorice, brambly red fruit, subtle cocoa nibs and a wonderful length.
