Plavac

Plavac Mali is Croatia’s signature red grape, grown on steep Adriatic slopes where intense sunshine, limestone soils and sea air shape bold, expressive wines. A natural relative of Zinfandel, Plavac Mali delivers full-bodied reds with dark plum, dried fig, Mediterranean herbs and a distinctive coastal salinity.

For Australian drinkers, it sits comfortably alongside Barossa Shiraz or McLaren Vale Grenache—rich, powerful and food-driven, yet unmistakably Mediterranean in character.

This collection features leading Croatian producers including Vinarija Dingač from the renowned Dingač and Postup sites, and Badel 1862, one of Croatia’s most respected names. Perfect with grilled meats, lamb and hearty dishes, Plavac Mali offers a bold introduction to Croatian wine for Australian palates.
