wine for life
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Our wine tells the original story of the hard times on the island of Vis and the monetary value of Plavac, which the islanders traded for food. It is this equal respect for history and terroir that makes us different.
VISLANDER
The story of Vislander is a story about islanders – about Visians and the British.
While World War II raged around them, Vis was hiding a British air base.
In isolation, the people of Više lacked food, and the British longed for peacetime pleasures. That’s why Grandma Frona and Grandpa Jure made another alliance with soldiers from the British Isles – they exchanged wine for food, dry military rations for Plavac.
The PERFECT SANDFIELD TERRAIN and sustained labor made this alliance victorious.
Every bottle of our Plavac is a journey through the exciting history of the island of Vis and a small celebration of life.
SIMPLICITY
Our wine invites you to enjoy good company, food, and drink.
AUTHENTICITY
Our wine conveys first-hand experiences of times gone by, when Plavac was a means of survival for the people of Vis.
VALUE
We are dedicated to every grape because Plavac symbolizes our life, the only thing we had in difficult times.
