Croatian Wine “Old World – Newly discovered”

Croatia has been producing quality wine for thousands of years, since Roman times, but it is only recently that wines from Croatia have been imported into the UK. Now, Croatian Fine Wines can deliver next day to trade and retail customers, still white and red wines from Franc Arman, Pilato, Kabola (EKO organic certified) and Ice and Sweet wines from Decanter Award Winner Bodren.

Taste Croatian wine varieties

Try out indigenous varieties like the floral dry white wine Malvazija Istarska, and the full bodied, dry and robust Teran with wild berry flavours as well as more familiar wines such as Sivi Pinot (Grey), Pinot Bijeli (White), Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Bodren’s Ice Wines are a tasting revelation with such a huge intensity and depth of flavours that they are considered a ‘philosophical’ wine by many.

Low Sulphites Wines

Many of our Croatian wines have very low Total SO₂ (sulphites) levels (we publish levels for our wines) and can be enjoyed by people who have an allergic reaction to drinking wines.

All our wines are analysed by Croatian Centre for Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs www.hcphs.hr and are certified as either Quality Wines (Kvalitetno) or Supreme Quality (Vrhunsko) Wines.

	Franc Arman Merlot 2008 (Vrhunsko) Vol. 750ml ABV 13.5% Total SO₂ 40mg/l The first Vintage and a supreme quality wine. "This merlot has an extremely distinctive and deep ruby colour with mild purple reflections. It is exiting even when one just looks at it. In a still glass, at first this wine has an aroma of raspberry and black currant, typical of merlot. When the glass is rotated the wine releases an array of other different aromas: wood seasonings and spices. Wood in this merlot is balanced so it is not prevailing. Consequently, at the second sniff, one smells the aroma of cedar as well as of plenty of berry fruits. By sitting in a glass the wine decants itself, and thus opens up and becomes more and more attractive on the nose. The taste will only reconfirm this distinctive aroma. Its retro-nasal taste is extremely strong, harmonic and long-lasting. Mineralisation of this wine is interesting, which is due to the soil where it grows. Its freshness also comes from the combination of red and white soil. The merlot “educated” in this manner has a good potential for aging and it is gastronomically adaptable to many culinary dishes. Tasting notes by Sandi Paris (Champion Sommelier from Pula, Istria). Croatian available on request.	£22.66	£21.48
	Pilato Teran 2009 Vol. 750ml ABV 12.5% Total SO₂ 55 mg/l This Teran is a classic Bordeaux ruby red colour with a purplish tinge. It has a distinctive fine, fruity and lingering bouquet, which makes Teran one of a kind. Teran is also distinguished by high acid content, a shade of tartness, and high extract which make it robust and vivid, yet pleasant and interesting.	£13.69	£12.98
	Franc Arman Teran 2008 Vol. 750ml ABV 12.5% Total SO₂ 55mg/l This red Istrian varietal is produced from premium quality wine grapes grown in the Narduči vineyards. It has a characteristic ruby-red colour shot with violet. It has a noble aroma and wild berry flavour with a dominant raspberry bouquet. The taste is full-bodied, robust and dry with soft tannins. Ideal for partnering with meat and game, prosciutto and cheese.	£16.74	£15.87
	Franc Arman Teran Barrique 2007 Vol. 750ml ABV 13.0% Total SO₂ 68mg/l "Produced from only the finest grapes based on controlled cluster selectivity methods, this wine is aged for twelve months in oak "barrique" barrels. It has a characteristic ruby-red colour and noble, wild berry aroma tinged with vanilla. The taste is full-bodied, robust and dry. Ideal for partnering with meat and game, prosciutto, cheese and truffle dishes. This really is a stunning version of Teran that delivers immense pleasure." John Torode, MasterChef Judge, requested another bottle of Franc Arman Teran Barrique 2007 at BBC Good Food Spring 2012, Glow Bluewater.	£22.66	£21.48

A dessert wine of elegantly balanced citrus acids, alcohol and sugar, rich in flavours of forest berries interlaced with noble rot. Flawless match with bitter chocolate mousse and goose liver dishes." Sweet, Supreme quality wine with controlled geographical origin.
