Frano Miloš’s family has lived and made wine in the Croatian village of Mali Ston, just up the coast from Dubrovnik, for over 500 years. They farm their seaside, terraced vineyards organically and work exclusively with plavac mali - Croatia’s most important red variety. 'Stagnum' is Miloš's 100% plavac mali rosé from 30+ year old vineyards planted in sand on top of dolomite limestone. The nose is a counterpoint of red fruits and lots of herbs. This is a rosé of structure and seriousness, and it benefits from air - don’t drink it too quickly or too cold! The pairing possibilities are wide-ranging, from grilled fish to grilled red meat. It’s also good with anything briny; oysters are a classic match in Croatia.
