#139 Welschriesling

2006 Krizevci Winery Grasevina, Kalnik Region, Croatia.

And that is all you need to know. OK not exactly.

This one marks our first Croatian wine. Weighing in at a mere 11% a.b.v. this in a nutshell is basically a simple summer white. (despite the riesling you see in its name). According to K&L "What Croatian lovingly call Grasevina is known in the neighboring countries as Welschriesling, Olasz Rizling, Laski Rizling, or simply Riesling Italico."
