Croatia’s best indigenous candidate for rivaling the world’s famous grape varieties. Its exact origin remains unknown, but genetic analysis has identified Dobricic and Crljenak (Zinfandel) as its parents. One might call it a variety that thrives on adversity: while it is exceptionally successful in the Plaze area, it finds it very difficult to ripen properly in the deep soils of Starigrad’s Ager. It also gives good results in the terraced vineyards around Svirce.
Wines made from Plavac normally have a high level of extract and high alcohol, and are capable of evolving for many years in barrel and bottle. It ripens in the fourth period.
