Croatia – Buy wines with character and sea air
Croatia is one of the most exciting discoveries in the European wine world. Anyone wanting to buy here gets wines that are shaped by sun, limestone, and the Adriatic – unmistakable, idiosyncratic, and full of personality. The combination of ancient native grape varieties and a climate that combines Mediterranean warmth with fresh sea breezes results in wines that you only know from Croatia.
Style and character of Croatian wines
Croatian wines inspire with their lively acidity, spicy depth, and often a pleasantly salty minerality. The red wines appear strong and structured, the white wines fresh and aromatic – both with an unmistakable Mediterranean expression that clearly sets them apart from other European wines.
Grape varieties and origins
Dalmatia is the most famous wine region in the country. Here, Plavac Mali dominates, a red variety with plenty of body, dark fruit aromas, and strong tannins. On the coast and on the islands, characterful white wines are also created from Pošip and Grk – varieties that are hardly to be found outside of Croatia and are exactly why they are so appealing.
