The Croatian isle of Korčula and its leading wine: the white Pošip.

Grk, an ancient grape saved from phylloxera and abandon on the island of Korčula.

Mountain Wine

Central heating and how it changes the perception of wine.

Mendek Plavac Sv. Jakov 2006

Another exciting wine from Croatia. Rethinking its commercial warhorse: jammy Shiraz-like Plavac Mali.

Duboković Moj Otok 2008

Reductive Loire Chenin Blanc, oxidised vin jaune from the Jura, and Indian curry. What’s that wine?

Clai Sv. Jakov 2009

Clai Sv. Jakov Malvazija 2009 – another stunning ‘alternative’ white wine from Croatia. Skin contact and limestone terroir give a wine of astounding depth of flavour.
