About Val
Val is Plantaže's sparkling wine range, made by traditional bottle fermentation (méthode champenoise) from a blend of Chardonnay and Krstač, the indigenous Montenegrin variety grown exclusively in the Ćemovsko polje vineyard. The base wine matures on fine lees in stainless steel for up to six months, then spends roughly twelve months ageing on yeast in bottle before disgorgement, and is sold in dry (Suvi), Brut and Rosé styles. The dry style shows aromas of ripe apple, pear and white cherry with toasted almond and hazelnut notes, and a fine, persistent mousse.

About the owner: 13. jul Plantaže
13. jul Plantaže is a publicly listed company headquartered in Podgorica, Montenegro, founded in 1963. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control, and it is listed as MNSE: PLAP.
Plantaže was formed in 1963 when agricultural cooperatives from Podgorica, Danilovgrad and Virpazar merged into Agrokombinat 13. Jul, opening its first modern wine cellar at Lješkopolje. Between 1977 and 1982 it carried out what it calls one of Europe's largest viticultural projects of the era, planting more than 2,000 hectares of vineyards and orchards on previously uncultivated land at Ćemovsko polje, now widely described as the largest single-complex vineyard in Europe at over 2,300 hectares. No single shareholder controls the company today: Montenegro's state Investment-Development Fund (22.22 per cent) and Pension Fund (21.49 per cent) are its largest holders, alongside the government directly and private investors, and it trades on the Montenegro Stock Exchange as PLAP. Beyond wine and grape brandy it also grows table grapes and stone fruit, presses olive oil and raises trout.
