Pelješac

Winegrowing peninsulaCroatia

Pelješac is a Dalmatian peninsula especially associated with Plavac Mali reds and the named vineyard origins Dingač and Postup.

Dingač and Postup are more specific geographical identities within the peninsula, rather than separate grape varieties. Plavac Mali provides the central red-wine reference. Wineries around Potomje, Orebić and other settlements give visitors different perspectives on this established Dalmatian wine landscape.

Compare a peninsula-labelled Plavac Mali with one carrying a smaller origin to explore how producers present their sites. The specific designation, vintage and cellar approach help explain differences in structure and maturation. Pelješac also has white-wine traditions, even though its reds attract much of the attention.
