The wine region of Slavonija
Croatia's largest wine region in the east between Drava, Danube and Sava.

The wine region of Continental Region
Vast inland Croatia (Kontinentalna Hrvatska) from Karlovac to Vukovar via Zagreb, continental climate distinct from the Mediterranean coast. Signature Graševina (Welschriesling) as white king: lively and fruity with notes of green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, sweet almond and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the inland soul (two-thirds whites). Aromatic Traminac (lychee, rose), fine Pinot Blanc, full Chardonnay, taut Riesling. Airy Pinot Noir emerges.
The word of the wine: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
