The story of Dingač

Nestled along the rugged coastline of Croatia's Pelješac Peninsula lies a hidden gem waiting to be discovered – Dingač wineyards. Renowned for its exceptional quality and distinctive character, Dingač wine is a true reflection of the region's terroir and centuries-old winemaking tradition.

Dingač wine holds a prestigious place in Croatian viticulture, officially recognized as Croatia's first protected wine-growing region in 1961. This designation signifies not only the wine's historical significance but also its unique qualities derived from the region's microclimate, soil composition, and winemaking techniques.

Crafted from the indigenous Plavac Mali grape variety, Dingač wine boasts a deep ruby hue and a complex aroma that tantalizes the senses. Its flavor profile is characterized by rich notes of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of spice, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs.

What sets Dingač wine apart is its terroir-driven expression – a result of the region's steep, sun-drenched slopes and proximity to the Adriatic Sea. The vines, planted on terraced hillsides overlooking the azure waters of the Adriatic, benefit from ample sunshine and cooling sea breezes, imparting a unique minerality and freshness to the wine.

In addition to its exceptional quality, Dingač wine holds cultural significance for the people of Croatia, serving as a symbol of pride and tradition. Its production involves meticulous attention to detail, from the careful selection of grapes to the precise aging process in oak barrels, ensuring that each bottle embodies the essence of our part of the world.
