Terrain: A strongly sunny area with poor and whipped soil of the Benkovac- Ravni Kotari wine region, at approx 180 meters above sea level.

Farming: Farming is organic, not certified

Vinification: All grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning hours in order to start vinification as coldly as possible. Maceration on the skins for 8 days with fermentation started exclusively with native yeasts. The Cabernet Franc and Cabernet cauvignon are aged in stainless steel tanks for 6 months, and the Merlot is aged for 6 months in Slavonian oak barrels, until bottling.

Tasting Notes: Through a tumultous history, many international varieties found their homes in unsuspecting regions. Moslavina is an area that is well suited for Bordeaux varietlas for its poor soil and warm, sunny summers, but with plenty of windy and cool evenings. Epitet is a fruity and easy going brambly red. Packing pretty and spicy, dark fruit aromatics, followed by a palate of ripe red fruits, and Turkish spices.
