Tasting notes:
Graševina Tradition is the successor of Graševina Premium, the most famous label in the Antunović winery which secured the platinum medal at the Decanter competition in London. The name has been changed this year from the suggestive Premium to Tradition, with the desire to indicate the commitment to the authenticity of the variety and terroir.
However, the name is not the only characteristic that has been changed. The wine is softer than previous vintages. Especially on first impression. It is creamy and mild in the mouth, more elegant than its predecessor, but it does not lack taste nor aroma. The initial subtle ripe fruits open to floral notes of meadow flowers, pears, and citrus fruits.
A note of wood and nuts in the finish is felt in the mouth, and the retro taste is marked by lively and salty minerality. Beautiful wine.
