(2023) From Slavonia, Graševina a.k.a. Welschriesling is widely planted. mealy, but crisp fresh-cut apple. Delicious fruit: it has facets of honey and apricot, but such delicious fruit ripeness and sweetness, cut with shimmering acidity. Six months in local oak adds creaminess and almond richness. What a lovely wine.
(2022) An unusual combination of Pinot Noir and Zweigelt, fresh, delicate small berries, plenty of ripe red apple and very dry and summery on the palate. Clean, bone-dry finish.
(2022) An interesting wine this, on one hand yet another Provence lookalike from colour to bottle, on the other a highly unusual blend of Pinot Noir (60%) and Zweigelt, from vineyards in Eastern Croatia. There's some flint and some herbs adding interest on the nose, and the palate balances a hint of peach and more raspberry fruitiness, with a decisive sour plum and lemon thrust of savoury acidity. It is juicy wine, showing salty, taut character that would suit Moroccan tagine perhaps.
