Awards Eight Golden Medals to Croatian Wines
What many visitors to Croatia could already have experienced for themselves has now been confirmed at this year's Decanter World Wine Awards. Known for their high quality, Croatian wines were awarded with as many as eight golden, five silver, and 11 bronze medals, as well as with three recommendations.Red wines produced on the Adriatic coast received numerous compliments from judges. However, it is Croatian sweet white wines that were this year's absolute favourite, and the chief judge Angela Muir has proclaimed them a true discovery. The golden medal went to, amongst others, The Bodren Grey Pinot, which Missis Muir compared to the Sauternes, the world's best dessert wine. The recognition received by the dessert wines were, of course, accompanied by many compliments given to Croatian wine-producers and the conclusion that this year's success has put Croatia on the world wine map. On top of the numerous medals, the director of Decanter, Adam Lechemere, recommended Croatian wines to all wine enthusiasts, thus giving potential visitors to Croatia an even greater impetus to come. If one considers that Croatia is known for is excellent gastronomy as well, it becomes clear that it will attract its visitors not only with its natural beauties and fascinating entertainment and cultural events but more and more with its wine and culinary offering.
