Graševina

Graševina is the Croatian name for a central European variety Welshriesling (also known as Laški rizling, Olaszrizling, Riesling Italico) which is not indigenous to the country, but gives best results in Croatia.

It is also the most important Croatian white wine grape, since it accounts for a quarter of all vines planted there. Graševina is characterized by pleasant, fruity, and floral aromas, lively acid, mildly bitter finish, fullness, and harmony.

The wines range from sparkling, dry (fresh, but also oaked) to semi-sweet and late harvest gems. These wines are very versatile, so it is possible to pair them with every course in one dinner.
