Feravino has traditionally marked the Feast of Saint Martin with the young Frankovka and the young Graševina wines. This year, the celebrations were held at two separate locations – in the centre of Zagreb and at the Old Cellar in Feričanci.
“The Feast of Saint Martin is an ideal occasion for us to thank our partners, distributors, journalists and buyers for their loyalty and support. We are pleased to announce that we expect excellent wines in the year 2019 as well and that new bottles will be filled with our highly sought after sparkling wines – Grasecco and Francesco, whose premiere we had earlier this year,” said Luka Vrga, a member of the Management Board of Osilovac, which is Feravino’s parent company.
Along with the Slavonian specialties and the “obligatory” tamburitza music band, the party in Feričanci lasted until the early morning hours, and the Feravino’s Old Cellar was open to all wine fans. However, the Feast of Saint Martin was not the only reason to celebrate since the vineyard of Makloševac, which was planted in 1989, this past week organised the selected harvest of Graševina grapes.
“The weather conditions were ideal. The grapes are of exceptional quality. Dry and very warm autumn and the extremely high temperatures which are rarely seen in this part of the year have given us wonderful raw material with promising potential. We expect high sugar content and, of course, excellent must, as well as supreme predicate wine. Feravino is known for producing predicate wines of all categories,” said Ivan Maričić, the general manager of the Osilovac company.
He added that the vineyard was particularly proud of its Frankovka 2016 ice wine, which was produced in a limited series. That is the first such wine made in Croatia and the region.
