The secret of parallel 45,3
Let’s make things clear right from the start! This is not a story about geographical terms, but pure hedonism of the highest caliber since this vineyard of Golden Slavonia offers excellent wines and the best graševina in Croatia.
Kutjevo will greet you with picturesque Slavonian vineyards, ambiance wineries, and tasting rooms with a great atmosphere. There you will pair wines with famous Slavonian delicacies (because one doesn’t go without the other!), spend time with famous Croatian winemakers, and return home full of impressions and with your favorite wines.
The tradition of viticulture and winemaking has been present in this famous wine town for more than seven centuries, ever since the Cistercians built the oldest wine cellar in this part of Europe in 1232.
Conditions that are a godsend, experience, knowledge, modern technology, innovativeness, will, and a bit of luck – all this is needed for an excellent wine. Even though it cannot be stated with certainty that its quality is affected by the meridians and parallels, the fact is that 45,3 parallel passes through Kutjevo, the same one that connects notorious wine destinations Piemonte, Val du Rhone, Bordeaux, and Oregon. So now you judge by yourself!
