Prisbus is a single vineyard limited quantity wine from our low yield estate vineyards at the Srima peninsula near Šibenik.
Terroir driven wine inspired by our surroundings around the estate, miles of stone drywalls, Christian basilica geminea from 6th century, the estuary of River Krka and the Adriatic sea, smells of wild herbs and winds from north to south.

Prisbus Riserva 2017 is a wine with powerful yet elegant structure with 12,8% Alc. Complex notes of dark fruit, black cherry, herbs, tobacco, leather, and grafite. Medium acidity. Still young with exellent aging potential. Bottled unfiltered with total production of 220 bottles and 25 magnums.

A limited edition blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate vineyard at Srima peninsula. This wine is great representation of our teroir philosophy as we strive to work with what nature presents us for that year. Vintage 2017 is a limited release of only Cabernet Sauvignon from Prisbus estate vineyards made from tiny selection of carefully picked remaining grapes after our crops were devastaded by September hail.

Longer maceration and skin contact, but with always careful extraction is followed by aging and élevage in the cellar with total of 24 months in new French oak is what defines our Prisbus Riserva. Vintage 2017 is bottled in November, 2020 and was released in summer 2022.

We recommend our Prisbus Riserva for fine dining with game and savory dishes that will play and integrate nicely with the structure, acidity and tannins of Prisbus. Mushroom and truffle pasta is another candidate or try it simply with curred meats with aged cheese especialy local delicacy “mišni sir” cheese from sheepskin. Decant for 60 minutes and serve in large bordeaux glasses at 16 to 18 degrees celsius.
