Stina Pošip 2025

The wine
A superb example of Dalmatia's great indigenous white, from steep island vineyards above the Adriatic. Intense citrus, passionfruit and peach are lifted by refreshing minerality in an exotic, elegant style with a textured palate and persistent finish. One of Croatia's benchmark whites, in its understated stone-white livery.
The producer
Stina
View all Stina winesStina takes its name from the famous white stone of the Croatian island of Brac, quarried here for centuries and found in buildings from Diocletian's Palace to, so the locals say, rather grander addresses abroad. The Stina project began in 2009, when Jako Andabak invested in the old cooperative cellar on the waterfront in Bol and transformed it into a strikingly contemporary winery.
The vineyards, some like Stipancic dating to the fifteenth century, cling to the island's steep southern slopes and are planted with native varieties: Pošip, Vugava and the mighty Plavac Mali.
The bottles wear minimalist, stone-white labels, and the wines inside are among the most exciting things happening in Dalmatia. Croatian wine has arrived at The Wine Depot, and it has arrived in style.
