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: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
