Tomić Beleca 2022

Dalmatia, Croatia (75 cL)

The name of the wine in the local Croatian dialect means splendor and beauty.

A typically southern wine, light and easy to drink: an ideal choice for evening drinks.

Tomić Beleca is a harmonious blend of two Dalmatian white grape varieties, Pošip (50%) and Bogdanuša (50%). This synergy highlights the qualities of each: Pošip offers power, richness and moderate acidity, with typical varietal aromas of apricot, peach and a mineral note. Bogdanuša, on the other hand, brings more subtle floral aromas and remarkable freshness.

Andro Tomić was born on the island of Hvar. After studying oenology, he decided to return to his native island and set up his own winery some thirty years ago. There, he grows indigenous grape varieties, while keeping an eye on international viticulture and markets. The Tomić estate, also known as Bastijana, is located in Jelsa, a small coastal town with a long winemaking tradition. With a production of 150,000 bottles a year, the Tomić family is one of only eight families on the island of Hvar to continue this tradition. Once covering more than 5,000 hectares, viticulture on the island has dwindled over the years to just 300 hectares today. This viticulture, practiced on stony colluvial soils on mountain slopes, often offers low yields.

At the end of the 90s, state-owned land in Dalmatia began to be invested by private individuals. The size of the vineyards was reduced, but the land most suitable for viticulture was selected, and the emphasis was placed on the quality of grape varieties and improved winemaking techniques.
