Kutjevo Koria Cabernet Sauvignon Pinot Noir
Kutjevo
Croatia - Slavonia and Danube - Kutjevo

The wine comes from Koria, a special small vineyard where Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir grapes are carefully handpicked. To synchronize the harvest, we cut the Pinot Noir vines to slow down the ripening process, allowing both grape varieties to be harvested at the same time.

A wine that beautifully balances the characteristics of Cabernet – pronounced tannins and varietal aromas of dark berries – with the subtlety, elegance, and earthy cherry tones typical of Pinot noir. After years of aging in barrels of 1,500 to 3,000 liters and 225 L barrique barrels, we have achieved the best of both worlds.
