A refined blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, and gently dried Crljenak, this wine embodies exceptional elegance and a distinct Mediterranean character. Carefully selected grape varieties reveal abundant aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, complemented by refined spicy nuances, while subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs and cocoa unfold in the background. The gently dried Crljenak adds depth, concentration, and a velvety texture, enhancing the wine's complexity and richness. The ageing process was meticulously designed to preserve the varietal expression while achieving remarkable balance. A portion of the wine was matured in French oak barrels, imparting elegant notes of vanilla and sweet spices, while the remainder was aged in two-year-old Hungarian and Slavonian oak barrels, contributing finesse, roundness, and delicate spicy nuances without allowing the oak to dominate.
On the palate, the wine is full - bodied, complex, and well balanced. Ripe, silky tannins gracefully support the generous fruit profile, while vibrant freshness and subtle minerality provide precision and elegance.The long, complex finish leaves a lasting impression of warmth, sophistication, and outstanding harmony. Fabula is a wine that already captivates with its complex character, while possessing excellent potential for further ageing and development.
