Croatia’s reputation isn’t built on indigenous varieties alone—and the Bekovac winery, part of the Badel group in the Dalmatian hinterland, is a fine example. Traditionally specialising in southern French grapes like Grenache, Carignan and Syrah, in 2005 the estate launched an ambitious project in the Korlat vineyard, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
The terroir of Korlat consistently yields healthy grapes, allowing the winery to forgo chemical treatments entirely. The first vintage of Syrah Korlat (2007) was awarded the coveted Grand Gold Medal at Vinitaly 2011 in the red wine with geographical origin category!
Perfect with duck/goose, semi-firm cheese, beef braise, lamb or ribeye steak.

Die kleine Ortschaft Korlat liegt unweit von Benkovac im Nordalmatinischen Hinterland. Vor einigen jahren startete Badel1862 hier ein ehrgeiziges Projekt. In dieser kargen Landschaft wurden neue Weingärten angelegt, mit dem Ziel, Reben für große Weine mit internationalem Format zu produzieren. Und das Projekt gelang. Mit dem Jahrgang 2007 begann man reinsortige Weine aus Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot zu vermarkten.
