Boškinac Cuvée Red is the flagship red wine of the estate, crafted in a Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, adapted to the distinctive terroir of the island of Pag. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes and typically aged for around two years in oak barrels, followed by additional bottle aging, which enhances its depth and complexity.
Aromatically, it presents an intense profile of dark berries such as blackberry and blueberry, layered with notes of spice, cocoa, and subtle mineral nuances influenced by the island’s soils and maritime climate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet balanced by smooth, well-integrated tannins that contribute to an elegant texture.
The finish is long and persistent, often marked by hints of ripe fruit, vanilla, and light toasted oak. Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and structure, while Merlot adds roundness and fruit expression, resulting in a wine that balances power with refinement.
Overall, Cuvée Red represents a modern Croatian red blend with clear varietal definition and a strong sense of place, offering both aging potential and immediate appeal.
