Jakovac Cuvée Blanc – Fresh white wine from Croatia

Two Brothers, One Dream – Making Wine in Honour of Their Grandfather

In the far east of Croatia, where the Danube flows past the vineyards, brothers Ognjen and Ozren Jakovac produce a white wine that is both approachable and full of character.

Their Cuvée Blanc combines Graševina – one of continental Croatia's signature white grape varieties – with the much more familiar Sauvignon Blanc. The result brings together something distinctly Croatian and something reassuringly familiar in a single glass.

What began as a weekend project to continue their grandfather's winemaking tradition has grown into a serious winery producing wines with a character all their own.

Tropical, Juicy and Wonderfully Fresh

This pale golden wine is bursting with tropical fruit. Think passion fruit, pineapple, peach and a hint of golden kiwi. Sauvignon Blanc brings its recognisable freshness, while Graševina gives the wine its distinctive Croatian character. Dry, juicy and lively, with a subtle touch of spice on the finish.

This is the kind of white wine that suits almost any occasion: refreshing enough to enjoy by the glass, yet with plenty of flavour and character to hold its own alongside food.

From Aperitif to Dinner Table

Cuvée Blanc is delicious on its own, but feels equally at home alongside a meal. Try it with pesto pasta, grilled chicken, tuna or salmon, flavourful salads or a pizza with a little kick.

A lovely introduction to Croatian wine: Graševina brings something new, Sauvignon Blanc something familiar. Together, they create a wonderfully fresh and thoroughly enjoyable white wine.
