Ilocki Podrumi Vrhunsko Frankovka 2015, Croatia

Sumptuous ripe berries interwoven with warming, soft oak.

"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.
