Posip wine days Cara Korcula
A wine of oily colors with a distinct variety of sweet scents of vineyard peaches, figs and dates. Medium full body of strong alcohol. Rich taste, with an ideally balanced acidity that helps smoothen all the ingredients in mature and strong wine. This is how they talk about Posip, the wine that originates from the island of Korcula and whose birthplace is on the slopes of the island around the villages of Smokvica and Cara. Cara is one of the oldest settlements on the island of Korcula, famous for the droplets of wines that mirror the island's sun and sea, and the tradition of wine production dating back to the time of the old Greeks. It is mentioned for the first time in the 13th century, while today it is possible to find a comfortable and modernly equipped apartment or holiday house in Cara, only 20 kilometres away from Vela Luka and a few kilometres further from the sea and the magical Korcula beaches. Here, you have everything, a beach within a step or few, the colour and the shrubbery of a larger settlement near, with the peaceful, quiet summer nights in the company of scents and tastes of Posip wine in the picturesque beauty of Cara and the interior of the island. Choose the end of July and the beginning of August for your vacation, because the Days of Posip are held on Korcula in that time. A dozen days in the heart of the summer are reserved for exploring Korcula vineyards and wineries who open doors of their cellars and introduce us into the secrets of crafts in Cara and Smokvica right at that time. Your tasting glasses are waiting for you and you have bought a ticket at all wineries if you buy one along with the unique opportunity to meet Korcula magical landscapes and the tradition of wine making, as well as the way of life of Korcula's peasants. Posip is the first Croatian autochthonous white wine with protected geographic origin since 1967. Do not miss a raised glass for the generosity of the nature and beauty of the island, whose hospitality will always be returning you to its vineyards and its paradisal shores.
