Palihnić Wines Rukatac White Wine 750ml
Palihnić Rukatac is a true taste of the Pelješac Peninsula, made from the indigenous Dalmatian grape variety Rukatac, also known as Maraština. Bright, smooth and full of Mediterranean character, it offers notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and delicate floral aromas with a soft, rounded finish. Produced by the Palihnić family, one of the most respected names on Pelješac, this is a wine that captures the sunshine and coastal influence of southern Croatia.
If you enjoy Pinot Grigio, Vermentino or softer styles of Chardonnay, Rukatac is a fantastic Croatian alternative. Less sharp than Sauvignon Blanc and more fruit-driven than Pinot Grigio, it offers an easy-drinking style that works beautifully with seafood, summer lunches and Mediterranean cuisine.

Palihnić Rukatac White Wine 750ml is produced by Vina Palihnić on the famous Pelješac Peninsula, one of Croatia's most important wine-growing regions. While Pelješac is best known for powerful reds like Plavac Mali, the region also produces exceptional white wines from indigenous varieties such as Rukatac (Maraština).
Rukatac is one of Dalmatia's oldest native grape varieties and is genetically linked to Malvasia Bianca Lunga, a variety found throughout the Mediterranean. In the glass, it typically displays aromas of white peach, citrus, wildflowers and Mediterranean herbs, supported by a soft texture and gentle acidity. The result is a refreshing white wine that feels perfectly suited to the Adriatic coastline.
The Palihnić family has built a reputation for producing quality wines from local Croatian varieties including Plavac Mali, Pošip and Rukatac. Their vineyards on Pelješac benefit from abundant sunshine, sea breezes and limestone-rich soils, helping create wines with excellent flavour concentration and regional character.
For customers searching for Palihnić Rukatac in Australia, Croatian white wine, Maraština wine, Rukatac wine, Dalmatian wine or Balkan white wine online, this is one of the most approachable and enjoyable examples of this traditional Croatian variety.
