Ilocki Podrumi Vrhunsko Frankovka 2015, Croatia

Sumptuous ripe berries interwoven with warming, soft oak.

Ilocki Podrumi Vrhunsko Frankovka is a dry, full bodied red wine from The Danube, Croatia. It's a blend of Frankovka with 12.5% abv. Suitable for Vegetarians.

"Vrhunsko" means "Supreme quality" in Croatia and you can taste it in this wine. The wine wizards at Ilocki Podrumi have crafted a truly Croatian style of the grape Frankovka, known by its neighbours as Kekfrankos or Blaufrankisch. This widely-planted grape is nick-named the 'blue of the Danube' after its deeply-coloured skins and plummy flavours. Plum is joined on the palate by strawberry, red cherry and harmonious soft oak with an elegant finish. 

Pairs beautifully with: Lasagne, roast pork belly and trimmings, rosemary and butter-dressed lamb chops or stuffed peppers.

Cheese pairing: Montery Jack, Smoked Gouda or Feta.
