Croatia
Fair, 29C, Dubrovnik
At the time, Štrigova in Međimurje was renowned for being one of the most important wine centres in continental Croatia. The wine growing country in Međimurje still provides several premium wines, primarily by the Bobnjar family and which are akin to Slovene wines from the far bank of the Mura River (fruity, high level of acidity, moderate alcohol content).
The economically well developed Međimurje is still awaiting the arrival of its first great wine ‘guru’ to inspire local winemakers to modernize production and to more efficient exploitation of what are unquestionably very good natural potentials.
