Mali Plavac is a red grape variety native to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. It is known for producing robust wines with rich flavors and high tannins. The grape thrives in the warm Mediterranean climate, often found in regions like Pelješac Peninsula and Hvar. The wines made from Mali Plavac typically exhibit dark fruit notes, such as blackberry and plum, along with hints of spice and earthiness. This variety is closely related to Plavac Mali, which is a more widely recognized grape in the region. Mali Plavac is less common but valued for its unique characteristics.
