The hill Banova Kosa, in Baranja, in the southeastern part of Croatia, was called Mons Aureus (The Golden Hill) by the ancient Romans. Baranja in Hungarian used to mean ‘the mother of wines’ so it leaves us without a doubt about the wine quality for which this area was recognized centuries and centuries ago. This is where the vineyards and the wine cellars of Josić wines are situated.

Croatian Wine in 60 Seconds: Graševina
In the twelfth episode of Croatian Wine in 60 Seconds, we talk about Graševina, a white grape that isn't exclusively native to Croatia but also a Central and Eastern European white grape with unclear origins.
Graševina (pronounce: Grahsh-ah-vee-nah) has many names around the region. In Austria, it’s known as Welschriesling, in Hungary as Olaszrizling, and in Slovenia as Laški Rizling. In Serbia, it has two names: Grašac and Italian Riesling. Graševina accounts for almost a quarter of the plantings in Croatia. When made well, Croatian Graševina delivers mineral-driven wine with a good acidic spine.
