Brkić
Classic Zilavka


As everybody else has said interesting and quite good, but this is a little flat at this point.

It's highly aromatic, bursting with pungent notes of bruised pear, decomposing flowers, dried tarragon, iron, and Honey Nut Cheerios. Lees contact has endowed it with a lovely texture, as well as aging in neutral oak, lending further dimension to fleshiness, the core expresses pear as well, but also nuanced, ripe pineapple, banana chips and lithe, stony minerality. For this American palate, Žilavka is a unique experience. 12.5% ABV | Sample

One of the most unique whites I have ever had. Tropical, musky, honeyed, almost like an old mans cologne. C5

It's a citrus blend; lemon, lime, oranges. Touch of guava, pineapple, oily, ginger root with a splash of creme, citrus blossoms, gritty minerals/chalk, dry stones and finishes with ripe tropical fruit.
