Dingac Plavac Red Wine 750ml
Vinarija Dingač Plavac is a bold Croatian red wine made from the indigenous Plavac Mali grape, grown on the sun-drenched Pelješac Peninsula along Croatia’s Dalmatian coast.

The historic Dingač wine-growing area, recognised as Croatia’s first protected wine appellation in 1961, is renowned for its steep vineyards and distinctive Mediterranean terroir. With notes of ripe plum, blackberry and warm spice, this is a characterful introduction to Croatian red wine and Plavac Mali in Australia.

Vinarija Dingač Plavac is a classic expression of Plavac Mali, Croatia’s celebrated indigenous red grape and one of the defining varieties of the Dalmatian coast. Produced on the Pelješac Peninsula, this is a wine shaped by a landscape of steep vineyards, abundant Mediterranean sunshine and the influence of the nearby Adriatic Sea.
Plavac Mali is known for producing deeply coloured, characterful reds with generous fruit and firm structure. Here, expect a rich combination of ripe plum, blackberry and dark fruit, complemented by subtle spice and Mediterranean herbal notes. At 14% alcohol, it has the warmth and intensity associated with traditional Dalmatian red wine while retaining the unmistakable personality of Plavac Mali.
Pelješac – Croatia’s Great Red Wine Peninsula
Pelješac holds a special place in Croatian wine culture. Its rugged coastal landscape is home to some of the country’s most famous Plavac Mali vineyards, including Dingač, which became Croatia’s first legally protected wine appellation in 1961.
Vinarija Dingač itself has deep roots in the area. The historic wine cooperative in Potomje was established in 1937 and remains closely associated with the winemaking heritage of Pelješac. Its range provides a window into the different expressions of Plavac Mali produced across this remarkable peninsula.
What is Plavac Mali?
Meaning “little blue” in Croatian, Plavac Mali is an indigenous Dalmatian grape and a descendant of Crljenak Kaštelanski – the ancient Croatian variety genetically identical to Zinfandel – and Dobričić.
That heritage makes Plavac Mali particularly interesting for Australian wine drinkers. If you enjoy Shiraz, Zinfandel or other powerful Mediterranean reds, its combination of ripe fruit, warmth, tannin and savoury character offers something familiar while remaining distinctly Croatian.
Serve Vinarija Dingač Plavac alongside grilled lamb, beef, slow-cooked meats, peka, charcuterie or mature cheeses. It is equally at home at a traditional Croatian table or as an introduction to the indigenous grape varieties that make Balkan wine so distinctive.
For anyone looking to buy Croatian wine in Australia, explore Plavac Mali, or experience the red wines of Pelješac and Dalmatia, Vinarija Dingač Plavac is an essential place to start.
