The winery itself is situated in Bol Town on Brač Island. It was founded in 1903 and takes its name from a Dalmatian reference to Brač stone, one of the area’s major characteristics.
The BIBICh Winery
The winery, situated near to Skradin, is renowned for its red R6 Riserva, its white R5 Riserva and its white Debit. Most of the wines are created from lasin, plavina, debit and the babić grapes which grow in the region.
The winery’s dessert wine, Ambra, is said to be a favourite of actress Eva Longoria. The Miloš winery. This winery on Peljesac focuses on the Plavac Mali grape and produces a range of wines, including dessert wines. The most renowned wines produced are the Stagnum 2006, the Plavac 2009 and the dessert wine Stagnum 2007.
The Kozlović Winery
Based in Istria, this award-winning winery is operated by one of the country’s oldest wine families. Local grapes are used such as the Momjan Muskat, Teran and the Malvasia.
The most exclusive wines include the Teran 2012, the Muškat Momjanski 2012, the Malvazija 2012 and the Valle 2012. The Saint Hills winery. This winery has three vineyards and produces popular wines such as a Chardonnay and Malvasia Istriana blend, a Plavac Mali red, the Dingač 2008 and the white Nevina.
