FAQs
Podrum offers a specialist selection of Balkan wines online in Australia, including wines from Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Slovenia, alongside neighbouring Hungarian wines. Our range includes red, white, rosé, sparkling and dessert wines, as well as mixed Balkan wine packs. Wines are stocked locally in Australia and available for delivery Australia-wide.
Some of the most important varieties to look for include Plavac Mali from Croatia, Vranec or Vranac from Macedonia and the wider Balkans, Prokupac from Serbia, and white varieties including Graševina, Pošip and Temjanika. These indigenous grapes are a great way to explore flavours and wine styles that are difficult to find in mainstream Australian bottle shops. Plavac Mali is particularly associated with Dalmatia and the Pelješac Peninsula, while Vranec is one of the defining red varieties of Macedonia.
Podrum stocks a growing selection of Croatian wines in Australia, including wines made from Plavac Mali, Graševina, Pošip, Rukatac and other Croatian varieties. The collection covers regions including Pelješac, Dalmatia, Ilok and continental Croatia, with producers including Kutjevo, Iločki Podrumi and wineries from Pelješac.
Vranec, also commonly written Vranac, is one of the Balkans' signature red grape varieties and is particularly important in Macedonia. It typically produces deeply coloured, structured red wines with dark-fruit character and firm tannins, ranging from approachable fruit-driven styles to premium oak-aged wines. At Podrum you'll find Vranec from producers including Tikveš, Bovin and Popova Kula, making it a great starting point for Australian Shiraz drinkers looking to explore Balkan red wine.
If you normally drink Shiraz or other full-bodied Australian reds, start with Vranec/Vranac or Croatian Plavac Mali. For white wine drinkers, Graševina is an approachable introduction, while Pošip and Temjanika offer something more distinctly regional. For something further off the beaten track, explore Podrum's Hungarian selection, including Furmint, Juhfark and Olaszrizling from producers such as Somlói Vándor. These varieties are an excellent way to move beyond familiar international grapes and explore the indigenous wine culture of Central and Southeast Europe.
