Dalmatia

**Dalmatia** is Croatia's long, sun-soaked Adriatic coastline and its islands, one of the country's most historic and distinctive wine zones. **Wines & grapes** — The signature red is Plavac Mali, which gives dark, powerful wines, while whites lean on local grapes such as Pošip and Maraština. Plavac Mali is a descendant of Zinfandel, which is native to this coast, where it is known as Tribidrag or Crljenak Kaštelanski. **Character** — Baking Mediterranean sun, steep stony slopes and sea breezes produce concentrated, high-alcohol reds with ripe dark fruit and herbal, saline edges, alongside fresh, characterful whites. **Good to know** — Steep coastal sites like Dingač and Postup on the Pelješac peninsula are among Dalmatia's most prized vineyards.
