Vukušić Zlatarica
Zlatarica as our indigenous variety has always been a part of our family. Evolution from these big, astringent orange wines, to today’s modern interpretation - we want to show the world, what zlatarica can be.
Winemaker’s note: Wine made for us to drink, enjoy and savor. Made by family, for family. As simple as that.

Winery Information
Vukušić
Vukušić (pronounced: Voo-koo-shitsch) is a small family winery that has been producing wine for generations in Pojezerje (poe-yeh-zher-yeh) region. The location is a stunning valley inland in Dalmatia, where farming started in the family nearly 5 generations ago, when the Jezero (lake) was historically spilled for fields to be created.
