Tasting Notes: The Marany Cuvee isn't defined by the varieties it is made of (although we included which ones are in it for the US market, but not for the Croatian market), it is composition not the science of enology but the biodynamics behind it.
Marany was not created to be analyzed and examined through charts and questionnaires. It was created as a reflection of nature it was grown from: pure, honest, and stunning.
Marany is nature poured into a bottle, not forced into it, not captured, not trimmed, not manipulated into what we expect or want.
Marany Red is the first biodynamic Croatian Pinot Noir.
A light and gentle Pinot Noir that sings with bright bingy aromas of raspberry and a palate packed with elegant flavors of raspberry, red cherry, and freshly cut grass, plus a hint of earth. The wine finishes with young, fine-grained tannins.
