Thursday Wine Club Tasting: Croatia!
May 7th 5:00-7:00pm
This Thursday we will be tasting through May's wine club selections. All are welcome, and wine club members get 10% off of the shop during these tastings! Learn more about our monthly wine club here (https://www.bonvindenver.com/wine-club) .
A deep, ancient history of winemaking exists just a stone's throw from Italy's Adriatic Sea. Croatia has been producing wine for over 2,400 years. The land's first vines were planted in the Bronze Age, making for a long and rich history of viticulture and hundreds of indigenous varietals from which most Croatian wine is still made today.
Much of Croatian wine stays in the domestic market, but an increase in European and American tourism has led to a demand for these unique wines offshore.
Here's a closer look at Thursday's lineup.
Zlatan Otok Posip
Pošip is an ancient, indigenous varietal of Croatia dating back to 400 BC (!). These vines are planted on the rugged, steep sides of two Dalmatian mountains. With a terroir composed of almost entirely rock, minimal soil, intense sun, and strong breezes, the stressed grapes produce a dense, mineral-forward wine with a deep straw color. Grown organically and without irrigation, this fruit is hand-harvested and fermented on the skins for a couple of days before finishing in stainless steel. Serve chilled with hearty seafood like lobster, or with grilled pork chops.
Zlatan Otok Bilo Idro Plavac Mali
Translating to "little blue," this grape is native to the Dalmatian coast and is an ancient relative of Zinfandel. The soils consist of a limestone foundation accompanied by small amounts of brown and red clay that help retain moisture. This Plavač is slightly lighter in body than most, offering a bright palate of red cherry, blueberries, and gentle tannins. We recommend serving this wine slightly chilled, paired with comfort foods like pizza and burgers, or enjoyed solo as an easy-going red.
Hope to see you around the tasting table!
Friday Wine Tasting
May 8th 4:30-7:00pm
This Friday we're welcoming back Matt with S*M selections for an exciting re-entry of Martha Stoumen (https://www.marthastoumen.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopTYxyEc9JAcADzIvo39YQqUp7wn6mhC9bRYUCEGnTQImvdjBA9) wines to the Colorado Market!
Martha Stoumen Post Flirtation Red 62% Zinfandel, 38% Carignan
"Looking for a chilled red? This concentrated kitchen chameleon carries our banner for California crowd-pleasers. Year after year, excellent sourcing and careful blending yield a heart-warming wine that’s bursting with juicy red fruit. Bring this joyous bottle into any bustling hearth and share amongst friends old and new."
Martha Stoumen Post Flirtation White 45% Vermentino, 27% Roussanne, 19% Marsanne, 9% Muscat
"This refreshing blend tastes like vacation in a glass, here to combat all your lingering winter blues. Lively aromas of ocean air mingle with a sq**rt of lemon for a libation that’s begging for sunshine and seaside vacations."
Martha Stoumen Post Flirtation Rosé 88% Zinfandel, 12% Vermentino
"We only make this wine when the timing is right. The 2021 brings a parade of watermelon agua fresca and red clay on the nose. Lemon curd, acacia, and prickly pear on the palate cartwheel into a precise, dry finish. As usual, Post Flirtation Rosé doesn't fail to delight with subtlety and substance."
We hope to see you around the tasting table this week!
With love & a little tannin,
Hannah
