Story of Crljenak Kaštelanski (Zinfandel)
Traditionally, Kaštela was a viticultural area in which winegrowing and winemaking have been among the most important economic branches. Vineyards of this area also cultivated the indigenous Kaštela variety Crljenak Kaštelanski, Zinfandel, Ninđuša, Glavinuša, Ljutun and Babica. Crljenak Kaštelanski or Zinfandel, Primitivo, Pribidrag, Tribidrag is a highly prized vine variety, an indigenous red grape variety of Kaštela. As a well-known Croatian brand, Tribidrag was exported to European markets in the 15th and 16th century. Because it was highly susceptible to disease, the variety nearly became extinct in Croatian vineyards. It saw its revival in California under the name of Zinfandel. From the Imperial State Nursery in Vienna, which collected a number of varieties from the Monarchy, Zinfandel was introduced to Long Island, USA in the early 1820s when it became a prized variety in the northeast of the country, but mostly as a table grape. Thirty years later, it was brought to California where it swiftly spread, particularly during the Gold Rush. In the 1880s, it became the most widespread variety in the United States
Year after year, the number of its devotees increased and 1991 saw the founding of an association established with the aim of promoting the variety and wine, and supporting professional research of this variety. Crljenak Kaštelanski is a nearly forgotten old Croatian variety that has recently been stirring the minds of local and foreign winemakers. In 2001 it was established that Crljenak Kaštelanski and the American Zinfandel have an identical genetic profile, meaning they are the same variety. This was proved by Prof. Carole Meredith from UC Davis in California with the help of American winemaker of Croatian origin Miljenko Grgić and associates from the Faculty of Agriculture of the Zagreb University Ivan Pejić and Edi Maletić. Having sampled 150 varieties from Central Dalmatia, the sample taken in the vineyard of Ivica Radunić from Kaštel Novi showed an identical genetic profile of Crljenak Kaštelanski and Zinfandel, which finally solved the mystery of the origin of this most popular variety in the United States.
Shortly after this discovery, the agricultural cooperative Kaštela Coop and its director, agricultural engineer Ante Vuletin, in cooperation with the town of Kaštela and Ante Sanader, mayor of the time, began a project that involved the renovation of old vineyards and planting new ones. Kaštela Coop launched the production of vine grafts for winegrowers in Kaštela. High quality authentic varieties were back in the Kaštela vineyards: Plavac Mali, Babica, Crljenak Kaštelanski. Unlike some other varieties, wines made from Crljenak Kaštelanski are soft and smooth with a pronounced variety aroma varying from discrete floral to strongly developed fruity aromas. The quality and character of the wine largely depends on the place of cultivation, the age of the vineyard and applied winemaking technology. Also well-known is the rosé wine of this variety, the so-called White Zinfandel, that has long been extremely popular among American wines.
Kaštela is experiencing an ever increasing number of registered producers of Crljenak Kaštelanski. The area of Kaštela and grape vines have been inseparable for more than two millennia. The discovery of Crljenak Kašetlanski as a synonym of Zinfandel has made the town at the foot of Kozjak Mountain one of the most notable wine destinations in the world. As a tribute to this increasingly interesting variety, a vineyard has been planted in the Biblical garden in Kaštela. Each of its 12 rows bears just as many vines. Besides the authentic Kaštela varieties of Crljenak Kaštelanski - Zinfandel, Ninđuša, Glavinuša, Ljutun and Babica, the vineyard also grows varieties considered the closest relative to Crljenak: Plavac Mali, Dobričić, Crljenak viški, Rogoznički babić, Vranac, Grk and Plavina.
At the entrance to the vineyard stands a memorial tablet that reads:
In distant California son of Croatia Miljenko Grgić incited, and science proved that Zinfandel indeed is Crljenak Kaštelanski of Croatian origin.
