WELCOME
Pleasantly removed from the busy tourist center of Dubrovnik yet easily accessible, Villa Korta Katarina & Winery, a Relais & Châteaux member, is in the beautiful and historic Pelješac Peninsula region surrounded by the glistening Adriatic Sea. The name Korta Katarina combines the kortas or gardens of Croatia and the name of founders Lee and Penny Anderson’s daughter.
POŠIP
The golden-greenish color of this wine in the glass is very appealing to the eye. It has an intense citrus scent mixed with white stone fruits and field flowers. The wine is full-bodied with a gentle bitterness.

PLAVAC MALI
This is a modern, substantial, and multilayered wine with excellent character. It is warm, well cured, and balanced, with primary and tertiary aromas and just the right combination of expressed fruit and spice. You’ll detect aromatic herbs, cedar, licorice. The wine has very good body and mouthfeel, and tremendous ageing potential. Drink it now or give it more bottle time and be rewarded for your patience.

REUBEN'S RESERVE
Dark blackberry in color, leading to a slightly ruby-colored rim, this wine is rich with aromas of chocolate-covered dark Bing cherries, dried currants, and stewed plums. Hints of forest floor, sage, and saddle leather float from its tertiary levels. A full-bodied, complex, bold, and exceptionally structured vintage, it has great aging potential and a full decantation will truly enhance the overall enjoyment of the wine.

Plavac Mali Reserve is a wine with a dominant yet harmonious character. Well-rounded with tantalizing fruitiness, it offers a long, lingering finish punctuated with a pleasant bitterness.

Dark cherry in color, the wine’s center graduates to an illuminating pale strawberry rim. On the nose, notes of freshly muddled strawberry, cherry pit, red delicious apple, ripe kiwi, and a hint of garden herbs lift from the glass.

SABION
This is our first sparkling wine. Produced using the classic champagne method, it derives its flavor from the beloved white Posip grape of Dalmatia. This brut is refreshing on hot summer days, great as an aperitif, and wonderful when paired with oysters.
It is full-bodied and it has a recognizable varietal aromatic profile with the ripe flavors of dried and stewed fruit followed by Mediterranean herbs and spices.
An enticing golden-greenish color in the glass draws attention to this Pošip wine. Refreshing and flavorful, it has a gentle bitterness in its finish.
At once both strong and refreshing, this wine has good body and great versatility, making it an ideal match for a wide range of dishes. It is equally delightful as an aperitif.
Tasting wine at Korta Katarina is a very unique experience. The different types of tastings offer something for every gourmet and wine lover. Particular importance is attached to the pairing of wines with local specialties. Tastings are available by reservation only so our professional staff can be fully dedicated to each group of guests.
