...THE PLACE
People make the place, and here people enjoy good wine, good food and good company. You bring the company - we provide the rest!
WINE COLLECTION
This is the true expression of the Kaštela terroir. It is a vibrant, approachable red that honours the global legacy of the Zinfandel grape in its original home.
- Tasting notes:
Bright and fruit-forward, featuring layers of red cherry, raspberry, and a hint of white pepper. It is medium bodied with soft, velvety tannins and a fresh, juicy finish that makes it incredibly versatile.
- Best for:
Traditional Dalmatian charcuterie (prosciutto and pancetta), grilled sardines, tomato based pastas, homemade gnocchi with beef ragu, and hard cheeses like Paški sir.
Our Reserva is the result of patience and the finest selection of grapes from our oldest vines. Aged to perfection, this wine represents the pinnacle of what the Kaštela soil can produce.
- Tasting notes:
A deep, concentrated ruby in the glass. The nose is complex, offering dark plum, blackberry jam, clove, and dark chocolate, with a subtle smoky undertone from oak aging. The tannins are powerful yet polished, leading to a long, warming finish of black pepper and liquorice.
- Best for:
Slow cooked Beef Pašticada, grilled lamb chops with rosemary, wild game (like venison or boar), rich dark chocolate desserts, and extra aged hard cheeses.
BRATINČEVIĆ SPARKLING
Crafted in the traditional style, this sparkling wine is a celebration of purity and light. Made exclusively from white grapes, it mirrors the crisp morning air of the Adriatic.
- Tasting notes:
Expect a delicate nose of green apple, lemon zest, and freshly toasted brioche. On the palate, it is ultra-crisp with fine, persistent bubbles and a distinct mineral finish reminiscent of sea-washed stone.
- Best for:
Freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, light tempura vegetables, creamy goat cheese, or simply as an elegant aperitif to start a summer evening.
BRATINČEVIĆ POŠIP
Born from the limestone-rich southern slopes of Mount Kozjak, our Pošip captures the intensity of the Mediterranean sun balanced by the cooling mountain breeze.
- Tasting notes:
This is a full-bodied white with a golden hue. It opens with aromas of dried apricots, macchia honey, and wild Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and oily but braced by a firm acidity that carries flavours of ripe pear and citrus.
- Best for:
Grilled white fish, scampi buzara, risotto with wild asparagus, roasted veal under the bell (peka), and pasta with creamy truffle sauces.
ZINFANDEL AMPHORA
This wine is a return to the origins of winemaking. Fermented and aged in handmade terracotta amphorae buried in the cool earth, this Zinfandel is stripped of all influence except for the grape, the stone, and time. It is our most raw and honest expression of Kaštela’s heritage.
- Tasting notes:
A deep, vibrant purple with an incredibly pure nose of wild blackberry, pomegranate, and violet. The clay aging lends a unique stony minerality and a textured, velvety mouthfeel that oak simply cannot replicate. You’ll find hints of dried herbs and a savoury, umami finish.
- Best for:
Earthy mushroom risottos, roasted root vegetables, truffle infused dishes, or charcoal grilled game. It is a wine that demands conversation and slow sipping.
BRATINČEVIĆ HERITAGE BLEND
This wine is the definitive story of Southern Dalmatia. We have curated a selection of the finest red grapes from the region’s most prestigious micro locations, each variety grown where it expresses itself best. It is a masterful symphony of terroir, representing the ultimate meeting point of everything our coastal home has to offer.
- Tasting notes:
A majestic, deep purple wine with an evolving bouquet. It opens with concentrated dark fruit, dried plums, and blueberries, followed by sophisticated layers of Mediterranean scrub, leather, and sweet tobacco. The tannins are powerful yet silky, leading to a monumental finish that lingers with notes of dark spice and salty minerality.
- Best for:
Prime cuts of dry-aged beef, rich venison medallions with a berry reduction, black truffle pasta, or a simple plate of the region’s finest aged hard cheeses. This is a wine for reflection and celebration.
FINE DINING
THE VINEYARD BITES EXPERIENCE: TAPAS & WINE
For those who wish to focus on the nuances of the glass, we offer a curated selection of creative finger foods. This is not a meal, but a choreographed tasting journey a modern take on the Dalmatian marenda.
We’ve distilled the flavours of Kaštela into small, inventive bites. No heavy sauces or formal cutlery, just hand held delicacies designed to make our wines sing.
This experience is about texture, contrast, and conversation. You will be guided through a flight of our four signature labels: sparkling, white, and reds with each wine accompanied by distinct, chef driven tapas. Think of it as "Dalmatia in a bite."
We use our house made oils, regional cheeses, and preserved treasures from the sea, farm and garden presented with modern flair.

THE HERITAGE TABLE: 3 COURSE TRADITIONAL “GRANDMA STYLE” MENU
There is a specific kind of magic in a Dalmatian grandmother’s kitchen. The rhythm of slow simmering, hand-kneaded dough, and recipes passed down by word of mouth. This experience captures that soul.
This is "slow food" in its purest form. We serve the dishes that have defined our family gatherings for centuries. Expect hearty, honest portions where the quality of the olive oil and the freshness of the harvest are the stars. It is comfort, history, and home on a plate.
Rather than a structured pairing, this menu includes a guided wine tasting. You will be introduced to our cellar’s portfolio, allowing you to sip and discover our sparkling, white blend and red wines in a relaxed, communal atmosphere that mirrors Sunday lunch with the family.

Each course is a conversation between the kitchen and the cellar. This is a fully immersive pairing. Our sparkling wine awakens the palate, our signature white complements the delicate starters, and the journey culminates in our flagship Zinfandels, showcasing the power and grace of the Kaštela terroir.
