Why Sauvignon Blanc?

Through the potential it exhibits in the terroir of some of the Croatian regions, most notably Bregovita Hrvatska and Slavonija, as well as in the climate it finds in Croatia, Sauvignon Blanc is probably the most significant international variety for Croatian wine production. History of this variety goes a long way in Croatia and so does the tradition of wining significant awards and medals for the results it yields. These wines have their place in domestic cuisine and find their way to those looking for a more meaningful summer refreshment. These are the reasons why Vinart chose this particular variety for its themed conference. Many of the Croatian winemakers were presented and variety’s specific style was debated at the conference.
