Senjanović Winery

Senjanović Winery, located near Stončica Bay on the island of Vis, is a family-run winery that began producing wine in 2007 for personal use. By the following year, their first vineyard of plavac mali yielded enough fruit to enter the market. The vineyard is situated in the Tihobraće field, a plateau 70-80 meters above sea level, overlooking the island of Sušac. A second vineyard, planted in 2015 on leased land, spans 1.2 hectares and is dedicated to indigenous white varieties such as Vugava and Kuč (also known as Trbljan), along with smaller quantities of other varieties. The soil varies from clay-limestone to sandy with traces of red earth, and all vineyards are carefully maintained by hand using modern protective techniques. Their Plavac Mali received the designation of premium wine as early as 2010. Since 2016, the winery has been sourcing Vugava and Kuč from local growers and planting new vineyards of these varieties, ensuring the future of their white wines. Their Vugava comes from Dračev Field, an area traditionally considered the best on the island for growing this variety. Annual production includes 40-60 hectoliters of Plavac Mali, 60 hectoliters of Vugava, and 10-15 hectoliters of Kuč. They market five labels: Vugava, Kuč, Plavac Tihe braće – vinum plenum, Opolo, and Plavac Tihe braće – vinum levius.
