Bora Svrdlovina offers a modern and elegant interpretation of this rare indigenous variety from the Zadar region, combining rich dark fruit with refined structure and unmistakable Mediterranean character.
Warm, harmonious, and exceptionally food-friendly, this wine expresses the authentic identity of Northern Dalmatia in a contemporary style. The bouquet reveals layers of blueberry, blackberry, sour cherry, and dark chocolate, followed by subtle notes of raw tobacco, cocoa, and forest floor that add remarkable depth and complexity. On the palate, it is smooth, elegant, and beautifully balanced, while silky tannins and a long, refined finish make it an ideal companion at the table. Svrdlovina is crafted for Mediterranean cuisine, traditional dishes, and moments when wine naturally becomes part of the dining experience.

Svrdlovina pairs naturally with Dalmatian and Mediterranean cuisine that respects its elegance, freshness, and local character.
It is an excellent companion to squid ink risotto, seafood risottos, traditional fish stews (brudet), cuttlefish, and homemade pasta served with seafood or light tomato-based sauces, where its vibrant fruit and freshness truly shine.
Its elegant structure also complements rosemary-roasted lamb, slow-cooked meat prepared under the traditional peka, and classic Dalmatian pašticada, provided the seasoning remains balanced and does not overwhelm the wine's delicate personality.
Svrdlovina is equally enjoyable with young and semi-aged cow's milk cheeses as well as lightly smoked cheeses, creating an authentic Mediterranean dining experience.
