Graševina, a.k.a. Welschriesling, is the most widely planted white grape in Croatia, but confusingly has no link to German Riesling. Wines are typically neutral and easy drinking.

Food Pairing

Due to it’s bright acidity and lighter body, shellfish, sushi, or fattier cured meats will play nicely. Or, look for richer cheeses, which will stand to benefit from the pop of acidity.
