Enjingi Rajinski Riesling, 2006
In the slim eastern stretch of Croatia, between Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina, is the region of Slavonia and the Valis Aurea, the Golden Valley. It is here, in Croatia’s breadbasket, that Ivan Enjingi creates his masterful, expressive, award-winning wines. His vineyards include some of the best in the Golden Valley around Kutjevo, where white wine is predominant. German Riesling is a late-ripening grape, and grown well it is capable of producing complex wines that age. Enjingi Rhine Riesling is just that! This late-harvest wine offers concentrated fruit and honey flavors and a silky, almost oily texture, and finishes with a musky earthiness.
Enjingi Venje, 2003
A barrique-nurtured blend of Riesling, Traminac, Pinot Gris, Welschriesling and Sauvignon Blanc, Venje (1998) was selected by Decanter magazine from several thousand wines from every wine-producing country and pronounced overall champion in the category “white blended wine under £10.” This fascinating, medium-bodied wine has aromas of white fruit, joined by a slightly oily, mineral quality on the palate. The oak influence is very subtle, with only a touch of the oxidative flavor that is sought with barrique maturation. This sophisticated white is produced only in ideal years

Klinec Quela, 2005
The Brda - Collio region in Slovenia's far west is considered one of the most charming and scenic regions of the country. This area of gently rolling hills, occupied by picturesque villages and dotted with small churches, borders the Gorica plains to the east and rises from the Italian Friuli plains to the Korada ridge in the north. The soil of Brda - Collio consists of marl and sandstone in alternations. Since the hills are prone to erosion, most of the vineyards must be terraced. They are open towards the Adriatic Sea and take full advantage of about 2,900 hours of sunshine per year.
The Klinec - Medana homestead has been growing wine since 1918 in a pleasant and moderate Mediterranean climate in which figs, cherries, and peaches as well as olives thrive in a fertile soil that also yields the distinctive grapevines of the region. Today, Klinec – Medana cultivates about 5 hectars, growing a wide variety of grapes respecting the rules of biodynamic farming .
This wine matures in cherry wood barrels for one year. It is intensely red, and the aroma is reminiscent of black currants, plums, red cherries, cedar, chocolate, and mint. Vigorous tannins become soft and sweet; the wine has a full-bodied mouth feel and a long finish.92 points Wine@Spirits
Kozlovic Malvasia, 2008
The most important Istrian grape is the white Malvasia, but there is also a Muscat that yields magnificent sweet wines, and the red Teran, a subvariety of Refosco that produces a “wild,” high-acidity wine that is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet. Gianfranco Kozlovic is the largest private producer of Malvasia in Istria, and a vocal crusader for quality. His vineyards dot the hillsides of northern Istria, where his modern winery is located.
This lemon-colored dry wine offers hay, white peach, apple and almond on the nose. It is medium-bodied, unoaked, with fresh acidity and slight mineral and herb on the palate. Serve chilled with summer seafood.
