Special Croatian wines stand out for their origin, grape variety, winemaking method, ageing or story. Think of wines aged beneath the Adriatic Sea, traditional amphora wines, rare indigenous grape varieties and exceptional gastronomic wines. Discover Croatian wines here that are truly out of the ordinary.
Not every good wine is necessarily a special wine. This selection brings together Croatian wines that stand out for something beyond flavour alone. It might be an ancient winemaking method, an exceptional vineyard or a rare indigenous grape variety. Or it might be an unusual ageing process, extremely limited production or the wine's gastronomic reputation.
Croatia is an extraordinary wine country for discoveries like these. It is home to around 120 indigenous grape varieties and has a long winemaking tradition, while a new generation of winemakers combines ancient techniques with modern viticulture.
Some wines in this collection are special because of the way they are made. Amphora wine draws on an ancient winemaking tradition in which wine is fermented or aged in earthenware amphorae. On the Dalmatian coast, this idea of unusual ageing is taken even further: Edivo Navis Mysterium wines mature beneath the surface of the Adriatic Sea.
Other wines owe their distinctive character to their origin or grape variety. Think of powerful Dingač from the steep vineyards of the Pelješac peninsula, or wines made from little-known indigenous Croatian grapes. Every bottle in this collection has its own story to tell.
This selection is for anyone who wants to look beyond the familiar wine countries and grape varieties. For wine lovers eager to discover something new, for a special dinner or as an original wine gift. From gastronomic fine wines to bottles that become a talking point in their own right, here we bring together some of the most special wines in our Croatian collection.
