Babić 2018 - Gracin

At first glance, the average Babić is not particularly intense due to the medium accentuated primary notes of herbs, sour cherries, dried plums and blackberries. However, when the grapes are fully ripe, the fruit aromas increase quickly, and after the wine is aged in oak barrels, the aromas become complex and very pleasant. This is also typical of other great varieties such as Syrah. Babić should not be made as a light wine. Its increased acids blend perfectly with the high alcohol content and ripe tannins, making the wine full-bodied and very strong, yet soft and delicious at the same time. Less alcohol would result in a lighter body, acids would come to the fore, the wine would be refreshing but unbalanced. The fullness is reinforced by malolactic fermentation, which calms the acids and finally rounds off the extreme elements that such a wine naturally has.
