Kaamen III is a special selection of Babic from the mountain tops of Primosten. The vines are around 100 years old, yielding less than 0.5 kg per plant. On the nose — wild red fruits, game, damp cedar, dried mushrooms, rose petals, hibiscus. On the palate — firm structure and high acidity that will carry this wine for many years. The vineyards of Primosten look like pure human persistence. Stone is everywhere, stacked into small rectangular plots where one, two, at most three vines grow. Often they produce only one or two clusters. These stone-walled parcels protect the plants from constant wind while creating just enough soil for the vine to take root before pushing deep into the rock in search of water.
Vinas Mora is a project from Primošten, Dalmatia. The name means “wine from the sea” — the vines here almost touch the Adriatic. Founded in 2020 by three friends: Kreso Petrekovic (former New York sommelier and wine importer), Niko Dukan (wine promoter and co-founder of Karakterre) and local winemaker Neno Marinov. Their goal is to save Primošten’s viticulture, slowly pushed aside by tourism. They bought and revived an abandoned cooperative to give the region its voice back. The vineyards sit on extreme limestone terraces, all work done by hand. The main grape is the indigenous Babic. The approach is minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation, no filtration or fining, and very low sulfur.
