Notes from Danch & Granger:

The “Special” bottling is from younger vines and spends less time on the skins (2 hours or so). It is an impossibly light and fresh Pošip considering the grape is capable of reaching very high sugar levels. Being able to coax out ripe flavors without the heat and weight is a testament to Frano’s winemaking. As the lobster on the label indicates this wine is ideal to drink with just about anything pulled from the sea.

About The Winery: Toreta is a family winery rooted in generations of tradition in the village of Smokvica on the Croatian island of Korčula. They are renowned for championing indigenous grape varieties, especially the white Pošip, which originated in the fields surrounding their very cellars. The resulting wines are an authentic and expressive taste of this unique Dalmatian terroir.
