Edivo Vina Wines
Canadian wineries age their product in some unique places, from caves to the base of a pyramid, but no one can match Edivo Vina. The Croatian winery stores their wine under water in the Adriatic Sea, contained in traditional amphorae, the slim clay jugs favoured by the ancient Greeks.
Located in Drace, just north of Dubrovnik, Edivo Vina believes the cool ocean 20 meters below the surface could serve as an ideal wine cellar. The wine is aged for three months on land, in barrels, transferred to the two-handled clay jugs, and then stored in steel cages near a sunken ship wreck for up to two years.
Visitors to the winery can don a wetsuit and scuba tank and descend to the ocean floor to see the aging process in action. Even the ship wreck below has been converted to become part of the wine cellar, and can be explored by Scuba-certified wine lovers.
The barnacle encrusted bottles come up looking like they too came from an ancient shipwreck.
