Debit, Testament 2021

Vrlo lijepo i šarmantno vino, proizvedeno od relativno rijetkog hrvatskog grožđa (zvanog Debit) koje potiče iz okolice Šibenika, u sjevernoj Dalmaciji. Iznenađujuće je da grožđe nije popularnije (možda smo samo poranili) jer ima divnu svijetlu kiselost sa karakterom zelenog voća (karambola voće, nedozreo kivi), satenski osjećaj u ustima i kredasti mineralni profil ukusa. To je jedinstveno vino, ali bi se moglo opisati kao da ima neke sličnosti sa vinima sorti Sauvignon Blanc , Rieslingom i Gruner Veltlinerom, na različite načine. Svakako je prilično ukusno i zabavno za piće.

A very lovely and charming wine, made from a relatively rare Croatian grape (called Debit) that comes from the area near Šibenik, in northern Dalmatia.  It’s surprising that the grape isn’t more popular (perhaps we are just early) as it has a lovely bright acidity with green fruit character (starfruit, under-ripe kiwi), a satiny mouthfeel, and a chalky mineral flavour profile.  It’s a unique wine but could be described as having some similarities to Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Gruner Veltliner, in different ways. It’s certainly quite tasty and lots of fun to drink.
