The forerunner of the company was family winery founded in 2000 by Leo Gracin and his father Ante. The person responsible for a genuine and long-term recognition of this excellent variety is enologist dr. Leo Gracin. Generally, babić seems to be a great variety that in good hands apparently can reach the most unreachable heights reserved for quality wines like Syrah from Rhone Valley and Merlot from St. Emilion. Babić is the single grape variety in the wine region of Primošten and it has been like that from the beginnings of viticulture in this area. The wine region is situated in northern Dalmatia, some 25 kilometers east of Šibenik and 60 kilometers west of Split. The best description of Primošten terroir is stone, sun, sea, wind, and the name Suha Punta, as the name of this region due to little rainfall during the annual life-cycle.
