Graševina and Slavonian Delicacies: The Perfect Pair on the Table

Graševina is an exceptional grape variety that dominates the Croatian wine scene with its incredible versatility and richness of different wine styles. This valuable grape variety has a deep history and a special connection with Slavonia, where it has become a symbol of a rich wine culture.

Graševina produces a wide range of high-quality wines with expressive character. For sparkling wine lovers, there is Graševina sparkling wine that enchants with aromas of green apples, citrus notes, and subtle floral tones. This is an ideal drink for an aperitif but also pairs perfectly with Slavonian meat delicacies such as švargl, smoked bacon, and cheeses.

However, Graševina is most commonly presented through fresh wines with fruity aromas and a refreshing character. Some are fuller-bodied with a long finish, while others charm with their drinkability, floral notes, and slightly spicy herbal elements. Young and fresh Graševina wines are elegant and harmonious, pairing wonderfully with all Slavonian delicacies, from kulen to fiš paprikaš.

For a true sensation, we introduce you to aged Graševina wines that reveal the fullness and richness of its aromas. The profile of these wines abounds with aromas of ripe yellow fruit, with additional notes of quince and sweet spices. These wines are complex, appealing, and exceptionally delicious, further enriched by aging in Slavonian oak barrels.

Imagine goulash with homemade gnocchi or fragrant grilled trout - now imagine them in perfect harmony with noble aged Graševina offering a nutty texture and intoxicating intensity.

Unique amber, or popularly known as "orange" Graševina wines, obtained through extended maceration, will delight you with their complexity, refinement, and original flavors. This type of Graševina impresses with aromas of spices, orange zest, and candied fruit, successfully complementing even powerful dishes such as Barun Trenk steak stuffed with ham, eggs, and ajvar.

Graševina holds a special place in the hearts of Slavonians, who appreciate and nurture it in the best locations, allowing it to fully ripen on the vine. This special late harvest, occurring much later than usual, creates a true gem - nectar with harmonious honey aromas and an almost syrupy taste on the palate. This type of Graševina can serve as a standalone dessert or a perfect accompaniment to Slavonian sweets.

Graševina is the true wine queen that dominates the world of Croatian wine with its incredible diversity and richness of flavors. Every bite of food will be enhanced, leaving a lasting impression and satisfaction in the heart of every wine lover.
