Negotians Vinarius Plavac 2019 750ml

The small berries (Mali=small), thick skins, and often heavy oak treatments make these typically big reds that need age. There are of course exceptions (see Miloš), but those wines are still best with age. Made basically the same way as the Pošip (3 days skin maceration, basket pressed, tank fermented and aged), this Plavac has crazy acidity, has great fruit despite the barely over 3.1 PH, and the tannic nature of the grape keeps the whole thing in check.
