Tasting Notes: The Marany Cuvee isn't defined by the varieties it is made of (although we included which ones are in it for the US market, but not for the Croatian market), it is composition not the science of enology but the biodynamics behind it.Marany was not created to be analyzed and examined through charts and questionnaires. It was created as a reflection of nature it was grown from: pure, honest, and stunning.Marany is nature poured into a bottle, not forced into it, not captured, not trimmed, not manipulated into what we expect or want.We want people in Croatia to understand that it is not the variety that matters, but how honest wine is made, how much this natural authenticity is beautifully expressed through smell and taste.Marany White is a magical flavor, so vivid that it mixes dried apricots, apple cider, fruit tea, red-orange, ginger, grapefruit, and exotic spice into a new dimension.The texture and character on the palate confirms the terroir and the identity of Plešivica; the old and true Plešivica.
