Bire Winery

Bire Winery, located on the island of Korčula in Lumbarda, Croatia, specializes in producing high-quality wines from the indigenous Grk grape variety. The winery's philosophy is rooted in tradition and innovation, as evident in their commitment to preserving the region's vinicultural heritage while also experimenting with new techniques. Bire Grk wines are known for their distinctive bitter twist, or "gorak" in Croatian, which adds a refreshing complexity to their flavor profile. The winery's vineyards have been cultivated for over 2300 years, making Grk one of the oldest grape varieties in Dalmatia. The variety is prized for its good acidity and ability to pair well with local seafood delicacies. Bire Winery's wines are often described as robust and complex, with aromas of orange flowers, citrus zest, and mineral notes. Their 2024 Grk wine, priced at €30, has received praise from critics and guests alike for its floral and citrus flavors, making it a worthy investment for those willing to pay the premium price.
