Graševina from the Heart of Croatian Wine Country

Kutjevo Graševina 1L comes from a place where Graševina isn't simply another grape variety – it is part of the identity of the region.

Located in Slavonia in continental Croatia, Kutjevo has centuries of viticultural history and has become particularly closely associated with Graševina. Kutjevo Winery traces its story to 1232, when the historic wine cellar for which the estate remains famous was constructed. Wine production has continued in this remarkable Croatian terroir for centuries.

Today, Kutjevo produces Graševina across several levels and vineyard expressions, demonstrating just how important the variety remains to the winery.

What is Graševina?

Graševina is the most important white wine variety of continental Croatia and one of the grapes anyone exploring Croatian wine should know.

Outside Croatia, the variety is often known as Welschriesling, but Graševina has developed a particularly strong identity in Croatian wine regions such as Kutjevo and Slavonia.

It can produce everything from youthful, refreshing everyday whites to serious single-vineyard and age-worthy wines. Kutjevo itself produces multiple expressions of the grape, including its classic styles as well as premium and vineyard-specific Graševina.

Eight Centuries of Kutjevo Winemaking

Part of what makes a bottle carrying the Kutjevo name interesting is the extraordinary history behind it.

The winery's historic cellar dates to 1232, giving Kutjevo a winemaking story spanning almost eight centuries. The producer describes Kutjevo as one of the most important longstanding wine terroirs in this part of Europe, with vineyards occupying sites around Vetovo, Hrnjevac, Vinkomir and Koria.

Graševina has become one of the clearest expressions of this terroir.

For someone accustomed to international varieties such as Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, a Croatian Graševina is also an easy way to start exploring the wines of the Balkans and Central Europe without moving immediately into unfamiliar or heavily structured styles.

A Croatian Wine Made for the Table

The 1 litre format makes this an especially practical Croatian table wine – something to open with lunch, dinner or when several people are sharing a bottle.

Graševina's naturally refreshing style makes it particularly versatile around food and well suited to the kind of simple dishes found throughout Croatian and Central European cooking.

For Australians searching for Kutjevo wine, Graševina Australia, Croatian white wine, Slavonian wine, Croatian wine or Balkan wine, Kutjevo Graševina is an excellent introduction to both the grape and one of Croatia's most historic wine producers.
