Carić Bogdanjuša

jasmin, honeysuckle, peaches, orange peel and other citrus, hint of brine or ocean breeze #dalmatia #croatia #winetasting

24 unbroken centuries of farming on the island of Hvar. Aaallllrrriiiggghhhttt, I'll give it a whirl.

Oysters, kafir lime, and a mouthful like a Traminer. Really delicious.

Very pale green color with white peach, light dried herb, wet stone and a hint of floral aromas. On the palate it's light and fresh with white peach, apricot and lime flavors an appealing minerality with a lingering finish. The name Bogdanjusa is based on the name of the grape variety used for this wine (Bogdanusa), which means “a godsend”which is explained by its traditional use during church holidays and festivities.

Nice minerals without being too sour. Light, fresh with a touch of citrus.

Drank at Macondo in Hvar with Elliot, first night in Hvar, second night in Croatia. Very crisp, light, pale in color, refreshing. 2016 bottling

Carić (Tsar-itch) Bogdanuša (Bog-dan-oosha).

Brinier and less aromatic than most of the wines we've had in Croatia. Mineral driven and a great change of pace on the trip. Most other wines have been heavy on jasmine, extremely floral. This would pair perfectly with oysters - was fab with our fresh white fish 🐠🍾
