Korak Winery’s Laškovec Chardonnay Sur Lie is a refined, Burgundy-style white wine produced from vines planted in 1990 on the southwestern slopes of Plešivica at 350 meters above sea level. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in 225-liter French oak barrels using natural yeasts, followed by 12 months of aging on fine lees with bâtonnage (lees stirring) every 15 days.

The wine is then matured for an additional 12 months in 3,000-liter, 100-year-old Croatian oak barrels. This Chardonnay offers a complex bouquet of hazelnut, pistachio, ripe melon, and fig, with buttery and smoky nuances.

The palate is rich and full-bodied, featuring balanced acidity, a slightly spicy character, and a long-lasting finish. Best served at 12–14°C in a large glass, it pairs excellently with white meats, veal, and noble fish.

With an aging potential of 10–20 years, it develops further complexity over time.
