Roxanich who make the popular wine Zara (named after the family's daughter) are based in Croatia, and with the founder having made a good amount of money in a previous career, the family decided to start making wine which showcases the complexity behind serious aging.

This is possible when you first start out with wealth behind you, as you have the ability to 'hold wines back' from the market, until you feel they are ready. And this wine is a perfect example, as this bottle is a newish release... but is a 2011 vintage.

So what's the wine?
Sixty-five days of skin maceration on this seven grape field blend, followed by 116 months in the barrels in the cellar. We are talking layer after layer after layer of flavour & intensity here..

This wine boasts impressive complexity and flavours ranging from butterscotch & toasted nuts to chamomile & apricot, with flickers of vanilla, honey and fennel inbetween alongside a wealth of others to enjoy discovering. It's serious, fine and damn delicious.

Not cheap at 44€, but a very, very impressive Croatian wine.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

Prices include taxes, but not delivery.

WHAT IS ORANGE WINE?

Orange wines are actually white wines, but with a different winemaking process - they’re made by fermenting the juice with the grape skins, which is mostly done with red wines, not white. This extra step adds tannins, flavor, and a unique color to the wine.
Because of the skin contact, orange wines tend to have more herbal, aromatic notes, and they can also have a bit of bitterness depending on the grape, how long the skins are left in contact with the juice, and the vessel used for maturation. Unlike most white wines, they can also feature tannins (which are formed from the skins, which white wines do not use). Orange wines are a style that brings out some really interesting flavors that many people adore for their unique properties, whether easy going or complex.
