Žilavka EMPORIA

Wine Žilavka of Imperial Vineyards Winery Badge Decanter “Precious wine of hard, dry but still blessed region as if a man drinks laughter and song and after the third glass he greets the world around him only with song and laughter.”
Ivo Andrić, Omer-Pasha Latas (about Žilavka from Imperial vineyards)

In the stone land of sunny Herzegovina, on the blessed ground soaked with wild river Neretva and sweat of winemakers, sumptuous wine Žilavka was born. Those who deal with the production of this liquid gold are rewarded generously. Upright and defiant, this wine has taken on all the characteristics of the area it originated from. That’s why it puts up with periods of long droughts just as well as with periods of heavy autumn rain typical of this area.
This characteristic southern wine with a specific scent , crystal clear greenish-yellow colour and exceptional strength has easily found its place at the top of the wine world. Bosnian ban Tvrtko enjoyed its distinctive taste in 1353, and Ivo Andrić, a Nobel Prize Winner, was inspired by Žilavka from Imperial Vineyards to write the most beautiful thoughts about wine. Big names changed, people came and passed by, and Herzegovinian rubble stood proudly and always captured the beauty of its fruits.

Gastronomic recommendation:
Mild cheeses, specialty fish and white meat are in full harmony with the taste of EMPORIA Žilavka
