Tempera Premium Cuvée
Tempera
Painterly or vinous? Definitely vinous, yet with painterly characteristics. The Latin word "temperare" means to mix in proportions, so that the mixture could be used for successful painting, or in this case, enjoyed when drinking. Skeptics may argue: Mission impossible! Not quite so, if the conductor is adept at alchemy in pursuit of crafting the elixir of youth. Cuvée, blend, or, most distinctly Croatian, a mixture, always present the greatest challenge for oenologists, winemakers. Even proven good combinations pose a challenge, let alone when venturing onto uncharted paths, where there are no trail markers, to use a mountaineering analogy. It's a significant challenge and a bold endeavour where fears, fortunately, have not tainted the canvas, but where the wine's tableau will eventually, with time and maturation, reveal the true value of Tempera. Through aging, it will surely develop depth and a mature, sumptuous aftertaste in a wine that will be remembered. Let's not forget that wine is the only colour that is meant to be savoured!
