Last weekend, we paid a visit to Slavonia - the bread and fruit basket of Croatia. A region of fertile flat land and rolling hills, covered in vineyards and apple trees, although rapeseed seems to be the main crop in Spring. We were hosted by the Krauthaker winery, reputed to be the best winery in Croatia. Krauthekers main product is Grasevina - a uniquely Croatian white wine. Grasevina belongs to the Riesling family of wines, but is less acidic than Riesling and to me, more appealing. We tasted about a dozen varieties of wine (I lost count) but the best was, I thought, Muscat, a deliciously sweet dessert wine. According to a friend, Inga Levchenko (wife of the Ambassador of Ukraine and a budding sommelier), Grasevina is going to be the next big news, in the world of wine.
