ŠLJIVA
2,930 RSD
Our premium plum rakija has an authentic, refined, old-fashioned taste with a resinous, spiced character. It fades slowly and leaves, on the finish, the impression of ripe plum from our orchards near Valjevo. Years in oak casks shape the final bouquet. We mean to stay faithful to the tradition, which is why Jezdić Šljiva is bottled between 43 and 45 percent.

Journey
From field to bottle
I
The land
It all begins on our estate in Zabrdica, where we grow our own plums, pears, quinces and sour cherries on about 50 hectares.
II
The fruit
We pick only once the fruit reaches full ripeness and the natural peak of its sweetness, aroma and quality.
III
Fermentation
Under controlled fermentation, the foundations of each rakija's future scent and taste are laid.
IV
Distillation
Distilling twice in hand-made copper pot stills, we keep only the heart of the distillate — the purest and most valuable part of the rakija.
V
Ageing
All our rakijas mature in the cellar for years. The white ones keep the freshness and true taste of the fruit; the amber ones slowly gain their characteristic aromas, complexity and fullness in oak casks.
