VIŠE INFORMACIJA: 

Blatina is an autochthonousgrape  variety of Herzegovina. It has a functional female flower  autosterile), and for that reason it is always cultivated in plantations with other varieties such as Allicante bouschet (Kambuša), Merlot, and Trnjak, which at the same time pollinate Blatina.

It is very difficult to give an exact answer about the origin of the name Žilavka, but it can be logically assumed that its name symbolizes fine veins, visible in the period of the full maturity of grapes in the berry, through its thick but transparent skin. Its attribute, „hercegovačka“ seems to want to express  its unique grandeur, delicacy, boon , and abundance, as if to redeem the concern and effort of the winegrowers. It also symbolizes the region of Herzegovina, where it grew, formed its characteristics, assimilated and identified with the sunny and karst ambience of Herzegovina.

Wine has been consumed here for 2200 years
