"The wine Gang" in Kutjevo

Association of wine producers, established this year within Croatian Economic Chamber, works very intensive on promotion of Croatia as a wine country. According to plan of activities it was organized “Press Trip” for foreign journalists: wine tasting and tour of vineyards.
This time group of English wine experts called “The wine Gang”, had the opportunity on 27th and 28th of June to taste 250 croatian wines, and next day to visit Kutjevo wine region.
“The wine Gang” consists of five renowned wine critics (Tom Cannavan, Jane Parkinson, Anthony Rose, Joanna Simon i David Williams) which come to Croatia with intention to make selection of wine that suits taste of British market.

I was in Kutjevo two years ago, during the 32th OIV congress and I'm glad they kept quality of wine, even improved, especially white wines of harvest 2009. - said Anthony Rose.

I like the most Maximo Bianco (a blend of Sauvignon and Traminer) for freshness, and almost ideal balance of two varieties - says Jane Parkinson.

Selection they make in Zagreb and Kutjevo will be presented in September to English public and  wine professionals on specially organized event in London, along with  accompanying workshop where will be explained characteristics and parallel advantages of Croatian wines. Found in their selection has significant impact, because many wine consumers, and especially wine buyers and distributors, conduct with their opinion. After two days of tasting in Zagreb, a trip has been organized to wine region Kutjevo where they visited old Cistercian cellar and vineyard positions of Kutjevo d.d. company, and tasted wines from Kutjevo d.d. program.
In continuation of this trip they visited Krauthaker winery in Kutjevo, and Enjingi winery in Hrnjevac, and then was prepared lunch for guests on the winegrowing position  Vinkomir.
Since all of the five wine critics are the journalists at the same time, and all of them in reputable magazines,  we expect a very good effect in media at the end of the trip.
