Likeable varietal ruby red. The aroma is dominated by fruity aromas of prunes, blackberries and sweet apricots, which are enriched with discreet primary aromas of dried herbs and secondary aromas of toasted almonds. It tastes rich and juicy wine with pronounced aromas of small black and red berries that last a long time on the bouquet. Full body with fluttering velvety tannins that drown in the freshness of fresh pomegranate in the finish, best represent the character and elegance of the oldest Montenegrin variety that has been aged for two years in the highest quality French oak barrel.

Food pairing
Along with the elegant Kratošija with harmonious and balanced ethereal flavors, various salads on a green vegetable base with juicy beef steak or, if we are fish lovers, a spicy spicy seafood salad fit best. For lovers of stronger and more structured dishes, our lady in the glass dances even safer and more proud. If the ladies choose, she will choose a gentleman from the domestic scene when everyone recognizes her as a “Lamb chop”, lightly dressed with a red berry topping.
