Sauvignon Blanc is golden wine of Daruvar and it is made from
carefully selected vineyards. An important factor for the success of
the wine is the right combination of sun rays and beneficial rains on
vineyards located on the tame slopes of Bilogora, Papuk and Psunj,
along with special conditions in the cellar of castle Janković. But
above all, the reason for the success is the knowledge and effort of
the experts of Winery Daruvar.
Along with top quality and quality wine
types of sauvignon, graševina, chardonnay and rajnski rizling,
Vinarija Daruvar also has an exclusive line of late and selected
harvests, signed by the enologist Suzana Jurišić.
Sauvignon Daruvar comes from a very
special cellar. From 1771 until 1777, count Janković built his
castle in Daruvar. By redecorating the cellar of the castle, Vinarija
Daruvar got the ideal place to mature this top quality wine, and it
also got a representative vine salon and boutique. An interesting
fact is that the walls of the cellar are dug in several meters into
the ground so the temperature is the same during the summer and
winter, and ranges between 10 and 14°C.
The
golden Sauvignon Daruvar is a very clear, greenish-yellow colored
wine and its delicate aroma interweaves varietal elder bouquets with
exotic fruits aromas and caramel-honey tones. It is soft and full in
flavor, and the aromas pleasantly resume in its taste. The after
taste is long, fruity and fresh. With such top quality
characteristics, it is no wonder that it overwhelmed European wine
experts. This amazing wine is easy to combine, but because of its
aroma, Sauvignon Daruvar is a perfect match with goat cheese, ripe
cow cheese, gilt-head bream or sea bass, hors-d’oeuvres from foie
gras or pate and clam and sea fish specialties. Its’ aroma is also
an amazing match with meals made from veal.
Sauvignon Daruvar
is also appropriate for smaller sweet deserts such as pancakes (or
crêpes) and pies. Some say that Sauvignon Daruvar is a woman’s
wine because women love more aromatic types. But this doesn’t mean
that men should be denied the exquisite sensation of enjoying
Sauvignon Daruvar.
Cool it to the temperature of 8-10°C
and serve in tall slim glasses that will accentuate its rich
scent.
