KOZLOVIC TERAN 2024, Croatia

Popped open a bottle last night and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth it is for a red from 2024—the indigenous Istrian grapes really come through with a nice earthy finish. Going to grab another for sure.

Really impressed by how well this red captures the earthy character of Istria without being too heavy. The indigenous Teran grape gives it a distinct, rustic edge that feels authentic. Perfect with a hearty pasta dish.

I picked up a bottle after reading about their century-long family history, and the indigenous Istrian grapes really come through in the taste. This is a perfect red for anyone who wants to experience something authentic and heritage-driven.
