Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Rendzina soil on fliš with elevated carbonate content limits vine vigour and promotes the synthesis of aromatic compounds.
• Rendzina has a high clay-particle fraction, ensuring prolonged water retention and continuous grape ripening even during dry periods.
• The climate combines maritime and continental elements simultaneously: Mediterranean influence promotes ripening, while the continental component lowers night-time temperatures, preserving acidity.

• Protected in 1997 under the Wine Act on the basis of a study prepared by the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Zagreb.
• Decades-long clonal selection from the highest-quality vines in the Momjan vineyards safeguards the variety's original genetic heritage.

• The wine achieves pronounced aromatic characteristics and a favourable sugar–acid balance thanks to moderate bunch sun exposure on fliš soils. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The kontinentalna klima ensures the preservation of total acidity—malic acid in particular—imparting freshness to wines with residual sugar.

• The mixed maritimno-kontinentalna klima preserves primary varietal aromas and acidity, lending the wine freshness and body.
• Fliš-derived soil (rendzina) with a high carbonate content limits vine vigour and promotes the synthesis of aromatic compounds in the grapes.
• The high clay content of the rendzina ensures vine water availability and continuous ripening even during dry periods.
