Another busy day on the Hvar wine front yesterday, the highlight of which was introducing a visiting Daily Telegraph correspondent to Plavac Mali at the Bastijana winery in Jelsa – this wine is extraordinary…
But back to the matter in hand, the excellent Hvar wine quiz by our friend Dusan Jelic from Wines of Balkans. First, the answer to Day 2’s question:
To answer the Second Quiz Question: The village where this lovely church of St Mary Magdalene (Sv. Marija Magdalene) is situated is called Svirče & the two wine producers from here are: Vina Carić (VINA CARIĆ) & PZ Svirče.
Hvar Wine Quiz – Day 3: This is an image of my beloved Plavac mali from Krušvica vineyard at #Hvar island belonging to VINA CARIĆ – a variety that is a true pride of Dalmatia!
