The name initially confused me, as Graševina is the Croatian name for the "Italian Riesling". The commercial blurb, however, explains that this is also known (where?) as the "Đakovo riesling" and is Graševina blended with Müller-Thurgau ("rizvanac"). It also claims yellow-green colour, and I won't disprove that as the light conditions weren't perfect, it did seem, however, very, very pale. The nose carries light notes of pears, with some very light dustiness. Fresh, mild sweetish taste, slightly fruity, with not much acidity. Like a circle, with that light tartness at one end and very mild bitterness on the other. Fruity, fresh, fine. 79-80
