The Wines of Zlatan Otok | CROATIAN WINE REVIEW
Located on some of the most breath-taking and dramatic vineyards in Croatia, if not the entire world, Zlatan Otok vineyards are positioned on the prized southern exposure 35%-45% drastic slopes of Hvar Island. With an altitude level ranging from approximately the sea level to 1,000 meters, there is nothing in the wine world that compares to these vineyards.
Hvar Island is considered to be one of the sunniest places in the entire Mediterranean, receiving on average 2,724 hours of beautiful sunshine per year. Because of the more than ideal climate, this is considered an organic microclimate perfect for vine growing which the Ancient Greeks settled and planted with vines pre-Roman Empire. The greatest benefit of the vineyards overlooking the sea, apart from a beautiful view, is the fact that they do not need any pesticides or herbicides, so vines can be cultivated in a completely natural way.
The predominant variety cultivated is Plavac Mali (50%), while the remaining varieties include Pošip, Bogdanuša and Yellow Muscat.
More than one hundred awards, medals and recognitions have been given to this amazing winery. This is validation of their passion, hard work, and tradition of wine making on this beautiful island.

Imminent EU membership sparks heated row over wine brand name
Jelsa, Hvar - 27 April 2013
1. Pan of vineyard owned by Andro Tomic
2. Mid of Andro Tomic walking through his vineyard
3. Close of Tomic picking leaf from a grape plant
4. Dolly shot of vineyard and harbour in the background
5. Close up of grapes-shaped decoration in wine cellar
6. Pan of cellar interior
7. Close of bottle and glass of Prosek
8. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Andro Tomic, winemaker:
Prosek has been produced in these areas for more than two thousand years. Since there are grape plants on our island and in Dalmatia (region of Croatia) there has been the production of wine, and as there is wine production, there was also the production of Prosek as there were always overripe grapes, grapes that were drying, and from those grapes was made sweet wine, Prosek.
9. Pan of wine bottles in Tomic's cellar
10. Dolly shot down of Prosek bottles
11. Dolly shot of Prosek bottles
12. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Andro Tomic, winemaker:
Every house that has been making wine was also making Prosek. Not large quantities, some 10, some 20, some 50 litres. But they were making Prosek that was drunk for special occasions: for births, baptisms, weddings, holidays. So Prosek was their pride and if you want to take Prosek away from them it would be like taking away the sea.

15. Close up of bottle of Teran wine
16. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Moris Civitico, a restaurant owner and wine expert:
Istria (region in northern Croatia) is not only Croatian, but also Slovenian and Italian. It would be better if the brand Teran remains here, for everyone. But there is also a difference between our Teran and Slovenian Teran. Our Teran is made of the Teran sort of grapes and Slovenes make it from the Refosk sort.

STORYLINE
A heated row over brand names between Croatia's famous sweet dessert wine Prosek and Italy's sparking beverage Prosecco is making Croats furious at the European Union, which they are about to enter.
The EU has ruled that once the Balkan country becomes its 28th member on July 1, Prosek can no longer be sold under that name across the EU - even at home.
It maintains that Prosek's name is too similar to Prosecco.
And, it's not only Prosek that is in danger of disappearing.
EU-member Slovenia said Croatia has no right to market Teran, a famous red wine made in the northern tip of the Adriatic, shared by Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.
The wine controversy comes amid rapidly declining enthusiasm among Croats for membership of the EU, which is hit by a crippling financial crisis.
Croats are fiercely proud of their wine - a cherished product of the sunny rocky Croatian islands positioned on the spectacular Adriatic aquamarine sea.
Many Croatians have made sacrifices for EU membership, including losing their jobs in the state-funded unprofitable companies that were ordered shut by the EU, and some see the wine ruling as adding insult to injury.
Croatians point out that Prosek and Prosecco are different products, one sweet, the other bubbly.
And the Croatian brand has a tradition dating back centuries, whereas Prosecco is a product of the latter half of the 20th century.
Prosek has been produced in these areas for more than two thousand years, Croatian winemaker Andro Tomic said at his Romanesque winery in Jelsa, a picturesque Dalmatian town on the Adriatic island of Hvar.
Prosecco, produced in Italy's Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia wine regions, enjoys legal brand protection under EU rules that govern other wines like Champagne and Port.
The EU has ruled that the name is protected and belongs to Slovenia.

- We then check into LifeClass Terme Sveti Martin Hotel in Međimurje and await our rejuvenation program. Međimurje is the smallest county and an exciting tourist destination in Croatia. Sveti Martin has a long history of providing spa services in the country.
- Hažić Family Farm is one of the most known names in Croatia for apple products, including apple juice and apple chips. They also make commendable aromatic white wines.
- Mundoaka Street Food Čakovec is a place we highly recommend if you're looking for a place to eat when traveling around Međimurje county.
- Next, we move to the Zagorje region and visit the award-winning Bodren Winery, who produces only icewines.
