Tvrdoš Žilavka 0,75L
Dry white wine | 100% Žilavka | Alc. 12,5% | 0,75L
If there is one white grape that carries the DNA of Herzegovina’s terroir — it is Žilavka. Authentic and distinctive, Tvrdoš Žilavka reveals aromatic complexity in layers: vineyard peach, kiwi, and acacia honey intertwine with a pronounced minerality characteristic of soil that remembers centuries.
On the palate, the wine is smooth, with honey undertones that add softness, while the vibrant, precisely composed acidity brings freshness and elegance. The finish is long, rounded, and juicy — with fine, stony nuances that make it truly unforgettable.
A wine that carries not only the name of the variety — but also the signature of the terroir that gives it its identity.
Perfect pairing: grilled fish, shellfish, soft sheep cheeses, dried fruits, and Mediterranean appetizers.

Tvrdoš
Wine that has endured through centuries. Carved in stone, matured in prayer.
Just four kilometers from Trebinje, perched on a rock above the Trebišnjica River, stands Tvrdoš Monastery — a silent and steadfast testament to Orthodoxy, spirituality, and wine.
Founded in the 13th century by King Milutin, on the foundations of an even older monastery from the 4th century, Tvrdoš is a place where wine is not merely a product – it is sacred.
For centuries, in its cellars carved into stone back in the 16th century, the famous Tvrdoš Red (Vranac) has been maturing in large oak barrels.
Today, this tradition lives on through wines born from over 160 hectares of vineyards in the Popovo and Trebinje fields. Žilavka, Vranac, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay grow in the rugged Herzegovinian soil — under scorching summers and mild winters, caressed by winds from both the sea and the mountains.
The winery operates three cellars: the old monastic cellar, a modern production facility built in 2006, and a barrel-aging cellar added in 2012.
Each year, up to 250,000 bottles are produced and exported to more than 15 countries, from the United States and China to Switzerland and New Zealand.
But numbers are not what make this winery exceptional.
It is the union of monastic devotion and enological precision, of tradition and modernity, of stone and fruit, silence and fullness.
Tvrdoš wines are more than a taste — they are a sense of place, and a living echo of another time.
