What to Pair

This rosé's structure and savory edge stand up to richer, more rustic bites than you'd expect from a typical rosé.

  • Watermelon drizzled with olive oil and crushed pink peppercorn
    or
  • Crostini with lard and cherry jam

About the Producer

The Todić family has been farming this corner of Serbia's Toplica region, near the town of Blace, for generations, but it wasn't until around 2010 that they turned that land into an actual winery, with their first bottlings following a few years later. 

 

The whole project is built around Prokupac, Serbia's own indigenous grape, which the Todićs plant more of than anything else on the estate. It's paid off: Doja's Prokupac became the first Serbian wine to win the Balkans International Wine Competition trophy for best red made from a native variety. 

 

This rosé is Prokupac doing something different, mostly that grape with just enough Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Shiraz blended in to give it backbone.

Why I Chose this Wine

I picked this one because it doesn't behave like a rosé is supposed to: there's tomato leaf and flint and real structure here, not just watermelon and easy drinking. 

 

It's the kind of glass that makes people stop mid-sip and ask what it actually is, which is exactly the reaction I want people to have to Prokupac. 

 

Pour it lightly chilled and it holds its own next to something salty and rich, not just a picnic blanket.
