The Grašac grape origins from northern Italy where it is called Riesling Italico.
In Austria it is known as Welschriesling, in Hungary as Olaszrizling in Slovenia as Laški Rizling, and in Croatia as Graševina.
Grašac is not related to the German Riesling of the Rhine and Mosel.
Dry Grašac is a fresh and excellent summer wine with flavors of Lemon, Apple, Almond, and some Floral notes.
