Description
 
Primosten, the historic and UNESCO-protected area in coastal Croatia, owns some of the most unique vineyards on earth. Two talented winemakers, Kreso Petrekovic and Niko Dukan have spotted the potential and decided to work on these forgotten lands.

Primosten vineyards were initially rocky, inaccessible terrain that has been transformed through extreme human effort into agricultural land, namely, by bare hands without the use of machines, or to be precise, it is impossible to use machinery. That created "Clos" (enclosed by a wall) like vineyards, and each Clos with approximately 2 to 12 vines. The vines literally grow on rocks and enjoy a great view of the Adriatic Sea. The rocks are a mixture of limestone and dolomitic limestone, which came from the tectonic crash of different plates. There is no soil at all. The vines find ways through small cracks filled with red clay on the way to the underground water, which goes from mountains to the sea. The tiny amount of red clay allows the vine to absorb and keep the water, long enough for the vines to stay hydrated during the long, hot, and rainless Mediterranean summers from May to October. What survived the extreme weather never disappoints.

There are a total of 5 cuvees from Vinas Mora. They are all destemmed, non-chaptalized, using only natural yeast, unfined, unfiltered, and just a minimal amount of sulphites added before bottling. Special mention to their praise of Croatia's native grape varietal, Babic, a varietal that is largely unknown other than the fact it has been actively grown in the Northern Dalmatian region for hundreds of years. The wines display an ultra floral bouquet with traces of sweet red fruits from the Mediterranean terroir. On the palate, they are mineral driven yet round and juicy.
