There are wineries that make wine. And then there are those that tell the story of a landscape. Vinas Mora belongs to the latter.
From historic, sun-bathed stone vineyards of Babić and other local varieties in the Primošten area of southern Croatia come natural wines with a strong terroir signature. Limestone slopes, red clay soils, and the proximity of the sea give the wines freshness, salinity, and a distinctive mineral character typical of this region.
Along the rugged Dalmatian coast, where vineyards rise from white stone just meters above the Adriatic, Vinas Mora crafts wines that speak unmistakably of place. Based in the Primošten region of Croatia, this dynamic winery is dedicated to organic farming, minimal intervention winemaking, and the preservation of indigenous grape varieties, most notably the historic Babić.
The name Vinas Mora is a poetic play on words meaning “Wine from the Sea,” an homage to the extraordinary vineyards that stretch toward the Adriatic horizon. At the heart of the project are the UNESCO World Heritage shortlisted vineyards of Primošten, dramatic stone-laced sites that represent one of the Mediterranean’s most striking viticultural landscapes.
On February 23, we brought together Vinas Mora wines, a signature menu by Palo Sekerka, and the personal presence of winemaker Krešimir Petreković for one carefully curated evening at Triple Five. The vineyards of southern Croatia, precise food pairing, and an atmosphere built on detail created an experience that confirmed one thing: when wine and gastronomy meet in the right context, something exceptional happens.
Barbba is a characteristic field blend combining 80% red varieties Plavina and Lasin with 20% white varieties Debit and Maraština. The grapes come from the hinterland of Šibenik and the Promina region, where limestone and red clay soils shape the wine’s freshness and mineral expression.
Its lighter colour and vibrant character reveal aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and delicate herbs. The palate is fresh and energetic, with lively acidity, very gentle tannins, and a clean finish. Short skin contact, spontaneous fermentation in open vessels, and minimal intervention create a wine that feels natural and authentic. Serve lightly chilled. Excellent with grilled vegetables, light pasta, seafood, and Mediterranean cuisine.
Andreis is a blend of 75% Babić and 25% Plavac Mali, inspired by the area around the Andreis fortress. Aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and dried herbs meet a firm structure and fresh acidity. A pronounced saline note on the finish reflects its coastal terroir.
Part of the wine ages in used oak barrels, while the rest matures in fiberglass tanks. The result is a wine balanced between structure and energy. Ideal with grilled meats, tomato-based dishes, and bold Mediterranean cuisine.
The name Kaamen refers to the rocky terroir and the demanding manual work in the vineyards. All wines in this series are 100% Babić, yet each expresses its own personality.
Fresh, balanced, and mineral, with notes of red cherry and a subtle saline finish.
More concentrated and structured, with darker fruit tones and firmer tannins.
The most intense expression of the series. Deep and expressive, with full structure and a long mineral finish. Aged for approximately 12 months in oak barrels and produced in limited quantities. These wines call for grilled meats, game, slow-cooked dishes, or aged cheeses.
Vinas Mora works with minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, and deep respect for the land. Wines are often bottled unfiltered, with only minimal sulphur, to preserve the authentic character of the place. It is not about showmanship. It is about precision, salinity, energy, and the stone you can feel in every sip.
Vinas Mora wines are not only about origin. They are about place, vineyard work, and the way terroir shapes character. If you have not tasted them yet, it may be time to discover how southern Croatia tastes in a glass.
