THE OLD WORLD
Although we believe that Croatia has to offer one of the best value-for-money in many excellent wines, the varieties in use in this country can be very confusing to foreigners. Not only because the names are unfamiliar, but because many of the varieties may not be in use beyond a very limited area. For that reason we have prepared a selection of fantastic wines from some of the most traditional European wine regions.
