The
family horticulturist company Vitis was formed in early
1986, marking the beginning of our operation. Later on,
in 1993, the company changed its name to Zlatan Otok. Under
this name, we have been doing business to this day. Our
vineyards are located in the south area of the Hvar Island,
where Plavac Mali is the predominant variety, and in the
Podbiokova area in the Makarsko Vinogorje, where we planted
a new vineyard in 2004, on the altitude between 30m and
400m above sea level. The vineyard lies under the Biokovo
highlands. 650 000 vines grow there, on 75 ha of surfaces.
Most of them are of the Plavac Mali variety. In addition,
we also planted: Crljenak (Zinfandel), Merlot and Cabernet
Sauvignon, while white grapes comprise mostly old varieties:
Pošip, Žilavka, Dubrovačka Malvazija, and also Chardonnay
and Žuti Muškat (Yellow Muscat).
We are currently in the process of obtaining the Croatian
Organic Certificate.
