10.07.2015. IVAN DOLAC – HVAR WINE TASTINGS

Ivan Dolac was built on the southern slopes of the island as a shelter for a hard laborers who
had to climb from their village Svirče over the peak of the island to work in their vineyards , on
the steep slopes.
These vineyards together with those of St. Nedija are the most appreciated  positions for
growing Plavac Mali on our island. Ivan Dolac developed on the hillside overlooking the
beautiful sandy beach, as was common in ancient times. Old stone houses, on the ground floor
were taverns where wine has been produced.

Merchants were coming by their ships and they were collecting the wine from the Beach to the Beach. The islanders call all the villages of the south side “the Beaches”, and so every village  has their own, Pitve village  has Zavala (Beach), Svirče- Ivan Dolac (Beach), sometime ago even Sv. Nedija, which long ago was distinguished as a parish and became an independent village from Svirče.

Eventually Ivan Dolac became  the place where the islanders stayed over the summer with their families, and today is a favorite place of tourists who love beautiful beaches, clear waters and excellent wines of Hvar. Surrounded by steep vineyards, rosemary and olive trees, Ivan Dolac is widely known today as the famous vineyard appellation.

A glorious past and a big disaster is testified by votive church in the old part of the village, which tells the story of the arrival of the great plague – the three evils who devastated Hvar, but also the Dalmatian vineyards and caused a great hunger and emigration of our ancestors.

IT’S TIME FOR PLAVAC MALI FROM THE HVAR BEACHES!

This week we started harvesting the plavac mali from our island’s south slopes!

The steep southern slopes, bathed in sunlight and sea breezes, are Hvar’s most famous vineyards, extending from Zavala, Medvid Bod, Ivan Dolac and Jagodna to Sv. Nedjelja.

Despite the harsh climate, grapes from the “Hvar Beaches” are of very good quality!

The most famous wines from these positions have evocative names such as Ivan Dolac (PZ Svirče i Vujnović), named after the village famous for its beautiful pebble beaches,  Plovac Ploški (Carić), meaning “Plavac from the beach“, Medvid (Duboković) named after the Medvid Bod, a hidden beach maybe the most beautiful of all, which once was home to the Mediterranean monk seal. 

Or they may simply be named Plavac, as in Plavac mali barrique (Tomić) or Zlatan Plavac (Plenković).

VRIJEME JE ZA PLAVAC S HVARSKIH PLAŽA!

Ovaj tjedan počela je berba plavca malog s južnih padina našeg otoka.

Strmi vinogradi, okupani suncem i morskom arijom, najpoznatiji su hvarski vinogradi, pružaju se od Zavale, preko Medvid Boda, Ivan Dolca i Jagodne sve do Sv. Nedjelje.

Unatoč nepovoljnim klimatskim uvjetima, grožđe sa “Hvarskih plaža” odlične je kvalitete!

Najpoznatija vina s ovih položaja nose imena Ivan Dolac (PZ Svirče i Vujnović), po istomenom selu poznatom po lijepim šljunčanim plažama, Plovac Ploški (Carić), što znači “Plavac iz Plaže”, Medvid (Duboković) po Medvid Bodu, skrovitoj i možda najljepšoj plaži od svih, nekada utočištu sredozemne medvjedice. Ili jednostavno plavac kao Plavac mali barrique(Tomić) ili Zlatan Plavac (Plenković).
