What it is
The wines of Herzegovina: Žilavka (the fresh, herbal white of Mostar's karst) and Blatina (the dark red, famously mostly female-flowered — it needs other varieties to pollinate) from the sun-blasted stone vineyards of the south. Origins: Herzegovina's wine is Roman-rooted and monastery-kept (the Tvrdoš and Trebinje cellars); the Čitluk and Mostar vineyards are its modern heart. Made from: Žilavka and Blatina grapes grown in karst poljes. How it's made: 1) Grow on limestone under the Herzegovinian sun. 2) Ferment fresh (Žilavka) or age in oak (Blatina). 3) Serve with pršut, cheese from the sack (sir iz mijeha) and lamb. Served: at Mostar's restaurants over the Neretva. Flavor: Žilavka = herbs and citrus; Blatina = dark fruit and earth. Strength: 12-13.5%. Culture: Herzegovina is Bosnia's wine country entire — two grapes, fiercely local, increasingly exported. See also: Bosnian Rakija.
