Wines from all four Croatian wine-growing regions were submitted for evaluation. All of them are in quality wine category based on organoleptic assessment criteria at the Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food’s Centre for Viticulture, Enology and Olive Growing. Three of the gold-medal wines would actually qualify for the premium wine category.
Practical packaging
Bag-in-box packaging is exceptionally practical because the tap prevents oxygen from entering the inner bag, allowing the wine to retain its original organoleptic characteristics for weeks after opening. This makes it an ideal choice for hospitality venues wishing to serve wine by the glass. Furthermore, the low price point eliminates concerns about sales volume, as the wine remains affordable for the customer.
The packaging is convenient for households and especially for trips. It maintains the temperature for a relatively long time, and any leftovers can be stored at home for a while. With day-trippers and other gemišt enthusiasts in mind, after evaluating the still wines, we specifically selected those with pronounced freshness that are suitable for mixing with sparkling mineral water.
Debit was best for gemišt
Thanks to precise pouring into the glasses, every judge received an equal ratio of wine to water, and the selection of the best was unanimous: Dalmacijavino’s Debit took first place, Gospoja’s Žlahtina second, and Dobra Berba’s Bijelo third.
