<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”THE PROJECT” border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]An ambitious and original project we took part to in 2020, in collaboration with Marko Du\u0161evi\u0107 of Adriatic Shell, who gave life to Coral Wines project. Coral Wine project is the first and only underwater wine cellar<\/strong> specialised in preserving wines under the sea surface.
\nThe underwater cellar is located in a hidden valley in the island of Pag<\/strong>, and the base of operations is in Ljuba\u010d, a small village in the vincinity of Zadar, Croatia<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”THE ENVIRONMENT” border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]Before the Coral Wine project, the Adriatic Shell company was focused mainly on production of mussels and oysters, and it still produces food to this day \u2013 but the main focus has shifted to wine in the meantime.\u00a0Producing the food in the same place where the wine rests, means that they have a rigorous scientific testing<\/strong> of the environment in which the bottles are diven. Thanks to the underwater infrastructure that works in harmony with nature in a sustainable way<\/strong>, the wildlife has been restored in the valley and is blooming with flora and fauna, as well as lots of small fishes that are hiding from both the predators and fishermen.
\nThe so-called corals<\/strong> that form on the bottles are in fact mostly little worms that clean the bottom of the sea and try to turn foreign objects into stone. This biodiversity<\/strong> gives life to these state-of-the-art bottle designs<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”UNDERWATER LIFE” border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]The underwater environment is both perfect<\/strong> and imperfect<\/strong> in the same time. On one side, the bottles rest in the absence of light<\/strong>, complete silence<\/strong> and constant temperature<\/strong>, and on the other side they are exposed to constant pressure<\/strong> of the sea and the vibrations of the sea current<\/strong>. Rather than minimising the impact, Marko developed special cages<\/strong> that enable the bottles to float in the sea with minimum contact with the holders thus ensuring the sea flowing in between the bottles and maximum exposure to these conditions. They are also slightly elevated from the bottom of the sea, ensuring that the bottles do not take on any unpleasant smells. Each cage holds 150 bottles.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”UNDERWATER WINES” border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]These unique conditions give the wines unique charachteristics<\/strong> compared to the traditional ones. The constant stress make the wine to be a bit more advanced<\/strong> in the terms of development. If you compare the same two wines from the same vintage and one underwater wine, the first one would show more primary aromas and characteristics, and the second would display more secondary and tertiary aromas. The acidity would slightly mellow down, and the tannins would become slightly rounder.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”UNDERWATER COLLECTION”][vc_media_grid gap=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1683668327969-0436b9d3-189d-3″ include=”4598,4596,4600,4603″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yLhhj4Fnrs0″ align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4592″ img_size=”large”][vc_text_separator title=”EARTH AND WATER” border_width=”3″][vc_single_image image=”4640″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1683569881900{margin-right: 2px !important;margin-left: 2px !important;}”] [\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”THE PROJECT” border_width=”3″][vc_column_text]An ambitious and original project we took part to in 2020, in collaboration with Marko Du\u0161evi\u0107 of Adriatic Shell, who gave life to Coral Wines project.
