1937, 1995 and 2001 are important years for the Trdeni\u0107 family. Wondering why? Great-grandfather Trdeni\u0107 planted the first grapevine back in 1937. and thus determined the fate of his descendants. In 1995, they registered the first \u0160krlet in the Wine Institute, and in 2001 the story got a serious note – they opened a firm that today owns some of the finest and most awarded wines in Croatia.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trdeni\u0107 Winery<\/span><\/strong><\/a> has over 85,000 vines, has a capacity of 100,000 litres, spreads over fifteen hectares, so the question of “do they have a lot of work” here would be really insane and superfluous. We have convinced ourselves of one thing, and that is that today, just like in the past, all family members, from the oldest to the youngest, are involved in the process of creating this, for many, elixir of life.<\/p>\n

The Moslavina vineyards abound in various types of grapes, so in the Trdeni\u0107 wine list, you can find varieties such as Gra\u0161evina, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Cabernet Sauvignon, Traminac … However, one is special. Indigenous variety, \u0161krlet<\/strong>. Their greatest satisfaction is connected with its production – they love how people who try it for the first time react. Surprise, disbelief, delight, pleasure – in this order, they can read emotions from their faces. They can’t believe that such a wine exists in Croatia and that they have not had the opportunity to try it until then. However, this is not surprising when we know that \u0161krlet with a total of 75 hectares of vineyards, is one of the rarest varieties in Croatia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Vinarija<\/p>\n

Trdeni\u0107i intend to change such figures and are currently considering expanding the \u0161krlet plantations, due to the preservation of this special Moslavina variety, but also due to market demand, because a good reputation is heard far and wide!<\/h2>\n

There is huge potential in \u0161krlet, they say. It is a variety that has been researched to the smallest detail for the last 25 years, it is extremely grateful in cellaring, which encouraged them to experiment with it a bit. And the results are more than great. Whether they tried variants with ageing or turning into sparkling wine, \u0161krlet proved to be an exceptional potential, and since it thrives in this form exclusively in Moslavina, the possibility of a larger region stealing it from them is almost non-existent.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Moslavina winemakers have decided to draw the attention of wine lovers to this variety through joint cooperation. That they succeed in this plan is evidenced by the growing interest of wine connoisseurs<\/strong>, but also enthusiastic amateurs who increasingly choose the \u0161krlet vineyards for their weekend destination.<\/p>\n

Croatian Wine House is a project that should be realized in the near future and is designed as a space where winemakers will have the opportunity to present their wines, hold workshops, professional lectures related to winemaking and oenology, but also sommelier courses to educate new generations of caterers about matching food with wines.<\/p>\n

So, lovers of young and fruity wine, you must not miss the tasting of this variety when visiting Moslavina!<\/p>\n

You don’t have to go all the way to Moslavina to taste them. Wines from this wine list can be found in<\/strong> most wine shops in Croatia, from Zagreb to Split (Vrutak Zagreb, Vivat fine wines Zagreb, Vinoretum Zagreb, Grunt shop Zagreb, Bornstein Zagreb, Witrina Zagreb, Barrel Zadar, Wine box Split, Vinoteque Wine fly Podgora …).<\/p>\n

Still, doesn’t a weekend in Moslavina sound tempting? Especially if you have this view after lunch:<\/p>\n

If you haven’t believed us so far, you may will when we tell you that the wines of Trdeni\u0107 winery have been awarded many times. In praemia veritas <\/em>novo je in vino veritas! <\/em>\u00a0(**praemia = prize)<\/h2>\n

We are used to reading about domestic awards for domestic products, but the quality of these is recognized internationally<\/strong>. Each award is special and no less important, but if the Trdeni\u0107s had to highlight some, it would be two bronzes and silver from the Decanter competition in London, gold from Interdrink in Moscow and bronze from the IWC in London.<\/p>\n

To complete this great story, we went to a small matching school, so we share what we have learned:<\/p>\n

Each wine is recommended for a specific occasion, and the recommendation from the Trdeni\u0107 wine cellar is<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
