Bura Mrgudic Winery is a family estate, run by siblings Mare Mrgudic and Niko Bura, located on the Peljesac Peninsular near the Dalmatian coast in Croatia. The vineyards of this small, artisanal winery are situated on the incredibly steep Cru slopes of Postup and Dingac where Mare and Niko painstakingly tend to their Plavac Mali vines. The Yugoslav government recogzined Dignac as an appellation in 1961, the first such region in what became Croatia thirty years later. The region is famous for Plavac Mali, a grape that is the offspring of Crljenak (Zinfandel), which loves baking in the heat and greatly expresses the site on which it is grown. 

 

The Marica is made from 100% organic Plavac Mali sourced from the poor, rocky soils of steep slopes of the Postup appellation, which sits in the valleys of the Peljesac Peninsula. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged for 6 months in 225-liter used French oak barrels. The grapes are slightly raisinated before fermentation, a process that imparts a richness and texture to the wine that compliments the rich, fruit flavors of blackberries, blueberries and plum. Enjoy with lamb, beef, aged cheeses or a squik ink pasta.
