First Annual International Pošip Day
The Croatian Wine Alliance, a group of US-based and global partners promoting Croatian wines, is pleased to announce the first wine day dedicated to a Croatian indigenous white grape variety: Pošip {Poh-ship}.
May 21st marks bottling day for Pošip, the final and important stage in the winemaking process. During bottling, the year's harvested and produced wines are bottled into their final glass bottle (in most cases), therefore a good reason to celebrate and declare it: International Pošip Day,
Croatia has a unique wine history dating back to 2,500 years, and four key wine regions, each growing a distinct grape variety. Pošip is believed to have originated from the island of Korćula. The variety grows along the central Dalmatian coast and is the most popular white wine of the region, producing two different styles of wine: one a light, refreshing, easy drinking wine; and the other, a richer, aromatic, and age-worthy wine.
About the Croatian Wine Alliance:
Lead by Croatian Premium Wine Imports, and Aroma Wine Co. (yours truly); the US-based duo is partnering with several organizations worldwide to raise awareness on Croatian wines. All Croatian wineries, and importers are encouraged to join forces to promote the beauty of Pošip globally.
