Croatia, the setting for Kiki's Delivery Service, is also famous for its high-quality wine.
This full-bodied red wine is made from the indigenous Croatian grape variety Plavac Mali,
and its salty taste makes it a great pairing with Japanese food.

The cute donkey on the label is said to have been drawn because the vineyards are on steep slopes and carts cannot enter them,
so donkeys were used to carry the grapes.

Even now, when cars can enter the foot of the steep slopes near the vineyards,
people still climb into the fields and carefully hand-pick each bunch.

The fields, located on the slopes facing the Adriatic Sea, receive plenty of sunlight and fresh sea breezes,
which produce delicious grapes.
