Why it matters
The producer
Vlado Krauthaker founded Krauthaker. The current Krauthaker website reports 54 hectares of vineyard area, annual production of 700,000 litres and exports to 19 countries.
The winery's current oenologist is Martina Krauthaker Grgić. Graševina anchors the regional story, while the range also includes Chardonnay Rosenberg and wines from the Mitrovac vineyard.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Krauthaker is headquartered in Kutjevo, Croatia. Graševina is the most widespread grape in the region and a recognizable symbol of Kutjevo.
Mitrovac is a named vineyard whose microclimate and soil, rich in porous volcanic rock, give its Graševina depth and complexity. The vineyard name stays on the bottle and identifies a specific place within the wider Kutjevo setting.
In the cellar
Vineyards and cellar
Krauthaker follows sustainable cultivation principles and plants between 7,000 and 10,000 vines per hectare. A weather station situated directly in a vineyard continuously monitors air and soil temperature, rainfall and sunshine. These measurements guide vineyard work and harvest planning.
The cellar nurtures and matures wines across regular, late harvest, dessert and selected dried berry harvest categories. The range therefore includes both standard wine styles and wines made from more concentrated fruit.
Wines to know
The range in view
The range includes three white wines with different grape and site roles. Graševina IBPB is the 2019 wine from a selected harvest of dried berries. Chardonnay Rosenberg is a varietal Chardonnay from 2023. Graševina Mitrovac is Graševina from the named Mitrovac vineyard, with 2024 on the bottle.
The labels move from a single grape variety to a named vineyard and a selected dried berry harvest. Each bottle gives a different address or harvest category within the producer's white wine range.
