Saint Hills is a Croatian wine producer based in the Dingač appellation on the Pelješac Peninsula in southern Dalmatia. This estate operates within one of Croatia's most prestigious wine regions, working with vineyards situated on the steep, sun-facing slopes that characterize this dramatic coastal area.

Dingač is renowned for producing some of Croatia's finest red wines, traditionally from the indigenous Plavac Mali grape variety. The appellation's unique terroir features steep limestone and dolomite slopes that face southwest toward the Adriatic Sea, creating exceptional conditions for grape ripening. The combination of intense Mediterranean sun, reflected heat from the rocky terrain, and cooling sea breezes produces wines of remarkable concentration and complexity.

Saint Hills works with Zinfandel, representing a departure from the region's traditional focus on native Croatian varieties. Their current offering includes the "Black" bottling from the 2022 vintage, showcasing how international grape varieties can express the distinctive character of this acclaimed Dalmatian wine region.

Dalmacija is Croatia's largest wine region, stretching along the Adriatic coast from the Istrian peninsula in the north to the Montenegrin border in the south. This historic region encompasses numerous islands, coastal plains, and inland valleys, making it one of the Mediterranean's most geographically diverse wine-producing areas. Wine production here dates back over two millennia, with evidence of viticulture during Roman times when the region was known as Dalmatia.

The region benefits from a classic Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, moderated by the Adriatic Sea's influence. The diverse terrain includes limestone karst landscapes, river valleys, and volcanic soils on some islands, creating numerous microclimates. Key wine-producing areas include the Neretva River valley, the islands of Korčula, Brač, and Hvar, and the Pelješac Peninsula, each offering distinct growing conditions that influence local wine character.

Dalmacija is particularly noted for its indigenous red grape varieties, including Plavac Mali, Babić, and Crljenak Kaštelanski (Zinfandel). Babić, grown primarily around Šibenik and in northern Dalmatia, produces medium-bodied red wines with bright acidity and distinctive herbal notes. The region also cultivates international varieties and indigenous whites like Pošip and Grk, but its reputation rests largely on unique red wines that reflect the Mediterranean terroir and ancient winemaking traditions preserved through centuries of local cultivation.
