Feravino - Dika Grasevina 2022
Feravino Description
Youthful yellow in color with green hues. This dry white wine opens with aromas of lemon, green apples, and fine floral notes. The palate is fresh, fruit-driven, and slightly aromatic, with a touch of almond bitterness on the finish that gives this Graševina a special liveliness.
Feravino winery owns 160 hectares of vines, spread across three locations within a 24-kilometer radius from its base in the Feričanci village. The winery focuses mostly on Graševina (aka Welschriesling), Croatia’s most important white grape. The region’s continental climate and cool soils with high clay content and low in organic matter combine to produce expressively aromatic wines. The vines are trained via the double Guyot method and grow on the slopes of Krndija Mountain, benefiting from the significant moderating effect that the surrounding forests have in the area's hot, dry summers and cold wet winters.
In 2018, winemaker Martin Kovačević and his wife, vineyard manager Lucija Kovačević, took the reins of this historic estate. The winery’s history dates back to 1804, with their original cellar located in Feričanci, a village in the region of Slavonia, Eastern Croatia. Winemaking was first introduced to the region by Cistercian and Templar monks during the 13th century. It remains one of Croatia’s key wine regions today, though is perhaps best known as the source of the Slavonian oak widely used in winemaking across the world.
