Wine maker notes When Mike Grgich came to the Napa Valley in 1958 tomake wine, he noticed a remarkable resemblance between the Zinfandel and Plavac Mali of his native Croatia. Some 35 years later, Mike worked with scientists at University of California, Davis, to prove that Zinfandel was actually Crljenak Katelanski, a grape native to Croatia and parent of Plavac Mali. We grew our Plavac Mali (“little blue” in Croatian, referring to its small, bluish grapes) in the prestigious Dingac appellation, a small, steep area of vineyards perched above the Adriatic Sea on the south-facing slopes of the mountainous Peljeac Peninsula.
Producer Miljenko “Mike” Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated “Paris Tasting” of 1976. Then, in a now-historic blind tasting, a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen Mike’s 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.
