Kaamen is Babic without compromise. 100% of a grape grown on stone and wind. On the nose — fig, raisin, ripe cherry, a subtle salty sea edge, cranberry. On the palate — juicy fruit and fine spice. Unfiltered. Nothing polished, nothing hidden — just the character of the place in its pure form.Vinas Mora is based on the Adriatic coast, between Šibenik and Split, in the tiny village of Primošten. This has never been an easy place: bare limestone, poor soil, life built on fishing and stubborn farming. Almost nothing wanted to grow here — except Babic. Vineyards once covered the hills, but after the road was built in the 1970s they were abandoned: from 250 hectares, only about 35 remained. Their mission is simple — preserve Babic and protect this terroir.
Vinas Mora started in 2020, when Croatian sommelier Kreso Petrekovic realized that tourism was slowly erasing the vineyards of the place where he grew up. Instead of watching it happen, he stepped in. As a wine importer for the U.S. market, he understood the value of what Primošten Hills still had — and what they were about to lose. Together with his friend Niko Dukan, deeply involved in wine communication, he launched Vinas Mora — “Wines from the Sea,” a direct reference to vineyards that almost touch the Adriatic. This has always been a tough, contradictory land. Before tourism, people survived on fishing and stubborn farming on dry, rocky soil. “Before the 1960s, vineyards were everywhere, with only a few houses scattered among the stones. Then they were abandoned. Those who didn’t leave for big cities moved closer to the coast. The true face of the country is in the inland villages — that’s where most of our grapes come from,” says Niko Dukan.
