Bolfan Cabernet Sauvignon

Bolfan Vinski Vrh is situated in the Hrašćina Municipality, on the wine-growing hills of Zlatar, in the Medimurje - Zagorje viticultural sub-region, in Croatia. For thousands of years, this has been a vine growing land, where exuberant wines were created & poured in varying styles, yet still keeping the traditional indigenous grapes throughout time.

There are legends & stories, with origins in 2nd-century Roman culture mentioning the vineyard & the Roman military station situated on top of the hill where the winery now stands. The Roman period was followed by a succession of mediaeval feudal owners, each of them leaving traces of vine growing & wine production.

Through their history, experience, ancient soil & bountiful location, Bolfan have reached the peak in wine production in the Croatian wine world. They have achieved a selection of completely natural vintages, by implementing a 100% organic & vegan friendly method of vine growing. Such techniques form fresh wines with outstanding minerality, fruity profiles & floral aromas.

Their wines are produced for those who search for more, who can recognise the differences that organic methods bring & want the best nature has to offer. Without the dedication, constant learning, attention to detail & persistence, of every individual person working at Bolfan, the philosophy described above would not be possible.

Cabernet Sauvignon,

A weightier Cabernet than most are used to, yet with a relatively low alcohol content of 13.5%. This results in soft, elegant tannins, & a well rounded wine. Topped off with a beautiful length, this wine is a strong contender for our favourite. Fermented on the lees, non-filtered with possible natural sediment in the bottle, this wine will only improve with age!

Dark & crimson beautiful red colour with very slight elements of ageing shown by the lighter rim to the wine when in the glass. Dense & intense wine with dominant red cherry, blackberry & some cinnamon on the finish.

Drink with lamb and venison.
