Caplar wine is, as its name suggests, and innovative coupage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Plavac Mali. Plavac Mali grapes grown on the southern slopes of Hvar and Cabernet grapes from our vineyards on the northern side of the island are vinified separately, after which they are blended and aged for six months in barrique barrels. The result is a wine of softer tannins, in which the intensity and varietal aromas of Plavac are refined by the elegance and freshness of Cabernet. Characteristic flavours of plums, dried grapes and earth are complemented by aromas of blackcurrant, spices and other undertones. We predict that the wine has a greater potential for aging than other Plavac Mali wines. Every bottle proudly carries the signature of the winemaker which stands behind the idea printed on the label: “Produced in collaboration between Hvar, love and knowledge.”

It is served at a temperature of 18 °C. It is recommended as accompaniment to fried steak and red meat and game dishes, as well as various other dishes of a richer taste.
