In previous years, we won medals with high points, but 94 points won for Miraz Frankovka in 2018 is the highest number of points so far. At the same time, our Miraz Frankovka, according to the strict criteria of the commission, is the best rated red wine of continental Croatia from this year's Decanter, and all this gives us the wind in our backs for further work," said Lucija Kužir, head of viticulture and wine production Feravina and Enosophia.
