An equal respect for history and terroir is what makes us different. The story of Vislander is a story about islanders–the people of Vis and Britain. While the Second World War was raging in the Adriatic, Vis was hiding a secret British air base. In their isolation, the people of Vis lacked food, while the British pined for the pleasures of peacetime. That is why grandma Franka and grandfather Jure made their own alliance with the British. They traded wine for food, swapping a dry military meal for their Plavac and Vugava – a victory for our perfect sandy terrain and sustained hard work.
