Croatian Wine in 60 Seconds: Unique White Wines from Croatia
Channel: Dr. Matthew Horkey
Date: 2018-12-09

In the second episode of "Croatian Wine in 60 Seconds", we put the spotlight on two autochthonous white wine grapes from Croatia. Croatia is home to at least 130 native grape varieties. About 40 of those are currently used in commercial wine production. Thanks to the grape diversity, coupled with a multitude of microclimates, Croatia is a treasure trove of vinous delights. In this episode, we introduce the grapes:

Žlahtina (pronunciation: Zhlah-tee-nah)
Žlahtina, nicknamed Vrbnička, is found on the island of Krk in the Kvarner region, with the highest-quality grapes believed to be coming from around the village of Vrbnik (hence the nickname Vrbnička). Žlahtina wines are crisp, low in alcohol, with floral and citrus flavors. It is a hearty grape with adequate acidity, making it a candidate for sparkling wine production.

Debit (pronunciation: Deh-bit, as in debit card.)
Found in North and Central Dalmatia, a well-made Debit wine is mineral-laced and citrusy, with depth and intensity. This grape is used to make sparkling, dry white, dry macerated, and sweet wines in Croatia.

Croatian wine producers featured in this episode:
1. Bibich Winery
2. Katunar Winery
