Wine Enthusiast 93 points – “Hidden gem”

In the year 2023, Graševina Tradition 2017 won 93 points and the title of “Hidden gem” during the USA Prestige Wine Awards hosted by Wine Enthusiast.

Graševina Tradition 2017 is now the highest-rated Graševina in the USA.

Grape Variety: Also called Welschriesling or Riesling Italico, Graševina is a grape variety that produces light or medium-bodied wines with very good acidity and a rich bouquet dominated by apple, citrus and herbal aromas.

Winery: Antunović Winery is the first female-owned Croatian winery. The family owns 8 hectares of vineyards with excellent terroir on the south-facing slopes of the Danube River. 

Region: The winery is located in North-East Croatia close to the border with Serbia in the Podunavlje region, along the banks of the Danube River. The special microclimate is perfect for the production of premium wines.

Tasting notes: “Aromas of green pear, tangerine and jasmine pave the way for flavours of yellow apple, lemon zest, vanilla, rose petal and a touch of nutmeg. This wine is creamy on the palate and offers a final note of mineral-rich salinity”.

Winemaking: Hand-picked grapes. Maturation is Slavonian oak barrels. 

Food pairings: Whitefish, fish in creamy sauce, poultry, seafood risotto.

Alcohol: 12%

Awards: Decanter Platinum Award (2013); 93 points Wine Enthusiast (2017)
