SoHu – Debit / 2024
Moslavina, Croatia 🇭🇷

Overview
An orange wine made from 100% Debit, an indigenous Croatian grape. Locally called Žutina (“little yellow”), this skin-contact white undergoes 14 days of maceration, giving it both depth and character.

Aromas & Flavors
Apricot, peach, yellow flowers, and subtle herbal notes layered with a mineral streak.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a firm texture from the extended skin contact, balanced between freshness and grip.

Food Pairings
Mediterranean seafood dishes, roasted chicken with herbs, grilled vegetables, and soft sheep’s milk cheeses.

Verdict
A vibrant and authentic expression of Croatia’s Moslavina region, showing how indigenous varieties can shine through orange winemaking. Engaging, flavorful, and distinctively regional.

Did You Know?
Debit is believed to have arrived in Dalmatia via Venetian traders centuries ago, and today it is one of the key native grapes defining Croatia’s modern wine identity. — 5 days ago

Maybe I’m inspired by the name, but this wine literally reminds me of a ripe pomelo in color and flavor profile! Tropical floral nose, racy citrus and bone dry finish with a hint of salty silkiness as it warms in the glass. So crisp and refreshing!! — 4 years ago

Lovely smell and full mouthfeel. A real kick from the tannins to end it off (a tad too much without food). — 2 years ago

Not correct ID. I don't know what happened to the expert reviews at Delectable, but the choices did not include the proper one for this wine. It's Shenandoah Valley Vermentino, not as shown.
A very moderate 12.2% abv number makes this wine quite drinkable, and at $25 retail, it’s not too hard on the debit card. This is 100% Amador County Vermentino.
This beautiful white has a wonderful nose of bright citrus, tropical fruit, minerals and salinity, although the ocean flavor is somewhat lower than found in Sicilian versions of the grape. The palate comes on a bit sweeter, with a Meyer lemon overlay on the minerals. — 10 years ago
