The wine region of Slavonija
Croatia's largest wine region in the east between Drava, Danube and Sava. Graševina (Welschriesling) signature white king: lively and fruity with signature notes of green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, fresh herbs and almond hint, taut quenching palate — the soul of Slavonia. Aromatic Traminac (lychee, rose), ample Chardonnay, lively Sauvignon. Peppery Frankovka (Blaufränkisch), firm Cabernet reds.
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: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
