Teuta Žilavka Vintage 2021

Žilavka from Herzegovina is slowly but surely making its way to the very top of the wine scene. The taste is excellent, complex but extraordinarily harmonious. Alcohol gives it strength, acids give it freshness, a small amount of unfermented sugar gives it sweetness, and the dry extract gives it richness. Ripe fruit aromas of peach, banana, pineapple, apple, followed by aromas of dried fruit; figs, apricots, dates, then the aromas of almonds, vanilla and honey are noticeable.

The wine offers a non-uniform variety, innate minerality, ripe Mediterranean fruitiness. In the mouth it is fleshy, full and compact. The solid structure is determined primarily by the relationship between crisply pleasant freshness and warmth, which freshness completely controls. While the evident fruitiness gives it softness, the dryness is only seemingly in the background, but it gains elegance.

Gastronomy recommendation:
Goes great with shellfish, shrimp, pasta, white and blue fish, cheese, prosciutto, veal roasting, lamb on a spit.
It is drunk at a temperature of 10° to 12° C.
