David Skoko: Motor, loza, kuhača

The special Zadar garage

In this episode, David Skoko travels to northern Dalmatia, to a special winery in Zadar. It is special because its name and concept are linked to the French garage winemakers’ movement, and it is located in a renovated former military barracks. The Degarra Winery was founded by two families, the Pestićs and the Šulentićs, and their vineyards at the foot of Velebit defy the bora wind throughout the year. Their passion has also yielded the first Decanter award in Zadar County. The ideal menu for winemakers whose vineyards are often covered by the so-called posolica is seafood: bluefish prepared in several ways and a fig dessert.
