Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

An interesting and engaging Sauvignon Blanc wine from Daruvar Winery located in the Slavonian region of Croatia and overseen by Badel.

There is some effort that goes into growing and cultivating this international variety in this area. Vines that the berries are grown on have a high concentration of stony minerals in the soil that are furthered by the continental climate in which they grow. Nontypical for this area. 7g/L of sugar isn’t apparent and it still comes off dry but the tropical fruit, floral and green bean touches are all there. Bright, well balanced acidity with a clean body and finish. Light and fruity. Pair with a light herbed game hen and fresh salads.
