With a full body, the Plavac Terra Madre 2015 is a solid, quite complex wine with a finely presented fruit flavour. The wine from Komarna, the youngest Croatian wine region, south of the Neretva River delta, the most significant Croatian red variety is immediately recognisable. Wine Stars reviewers gave it three stars and Wine of the Week title. A bottle in Vrutak costs 69.98 kunas.
Three stars also went to the Sauvignon Blanc 2016 by the New Zealand winery Babich. The scent and taste are typical of the variety and soil it stems from, but are not aggressive. A bottle of this likeable wine costs 74.90 kunas in Vrutak. Competing were also Monterosso Malvazija 2016, wine made in Trieste from grapes grown on the red soil of Croatian Istria (Inkora S, 74.98 kunas), and Graševina Hrnjac 2016 by the Adžć winery (Miva, 79.50 kunas).
