Preserving the Legacy of Indigenous Varieties
Ante Sladić Vina is a boutique family winery dedicated to preserving Croatia's indigenous varieties. Located on a gentle northern slope overlooking the town of Skradin on the Krka River, it benefits from a uniquely cool microclimate. This climate gives every bottle its distinctive elegance and refreshing vitality. Widely acclaimed as a guardian of Dalmatia's viticultural heritage, the winery is passionate about rare varieties like Lašina rather than following commercial trends in international varieties.

Perfect pairings for this wine:

• ■ Carpaccio of white fish or scallops: The wine's bright acidity and mineral backbone perfectly complement the delicate sweetness of raw seafood.
• ■ Prosciutto and fresh melon: The classic balance of salty prosciutto and sweet fruit is beautifully enhanced by the rosé's vibrant red berry and floral aromas.
• ■ Goat cheese and strawberry salad: The wine's refreshing freshness softens the creamy tang of the cheese and harmonizes beautifully with the salad's fresh fruit notes.

Serving temperature: 10°C–12°C (enjoy at this temperature to bring out its full richness)

Skradin, Dalmatia (adjacent to the Krka River)
These vines are planted in the rich, fertile soils of the northern slopes overlooking Skradin. The proximity to the Krka River and the gentle northern exposure combine to create a uniquely cool microclimate with reduced sun exposure. This distinctive sanctuary prevents the delicate Lašina variety from overripening, ensuring that the final wine has its characteristic elegance, bright acidity, and remarkable freshness.
