Pape 2023
Crafted by Saints Hills at the Sv. Roko vineyard in Dalmatia, Pape is a heartfelt tribute to Crljenak - the great Dalmatian traveler who spread the fame of his heritage across the Atlantic, leaving a global mark as Zinfandel. Grown in red chestnut soil, this 100% Crljenak is fermented in concrete tanks and aged in French oak barrique barrels, capturing both the warmth of its Mediterranean homeland and a refined, subtle minerality.
Pouring a clear ruby red with purple nuances, Pape opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blueberry, plum, and warm spices. On the palate, this medium-to-full-bodied red offers a rich, layered texture and a long, well-balanced finish. Like a true Dalmatian returned home, Pape pairs naturally with traditional wood-fired grills (gradele), rich seafood stews (brudet), and aged cheeses—best enjoyed in a Burgundy glass at 16°C.
