Wine Wednesdays in the Basement
The Wine Wednesdays continue with Jokić organic wines from the Benkovac area – February 28
The seal bears the logo with a seagull, grape cluster, vines and founding year – 1906, when the great grandfather of Duško Jokić was in charge of the vines. Guide by the love and passion for wines, in 2007 Duško Jokić returned to his ancestral land, in Lišane Tinjske near Benkovac, the hinterland of Zadar and Biograd at Sea – and begun restoring the vineyards from 0! Ideal, unspoiled soil was preordained for ecological cultivation of vines. They began with Maraština, followed by Chardonnay and Pošip. The winemaking then slowly became a business. Personal affection for white wines determined the first bottles, followed by red wines.
Along with the story of the Jokić family, the following wines will be served combined with bites made by Basement:
Welcome drink
Maraština 2015
Pošip 2015
Rosé 2015
Cuvée 2015
The price is 99 kuna, with mandatory reservations via the number 098 221313 (Zvonko).
