Vina Belje Wins More Awards Than Ever Before

Best Producer from Croatia, Best White Wine from Croatia and eight gold medals at Mundus Vini Spring Tasting confirm Belje’s quality.

This year surpassed last year’s major result with eight golds and two titles. Premium graševina 2024 won Best White Wine from Croatia, again proving exceptional to the last drop.

Director Suzana Zovko said: “We have never won eight golds and both these titles at one competition. Almost every entry won gold, rare for a selection spanning every range from Select Graševina to Goldberg. We showed quality in every bottle and price category. Gold for our widely available quality Graševina is especially meaningful. We make 400,000 bottles annually, offering wine lovers outstanding value. Its gold confirms our quality and dedication to this exceptional variety.”

Against more than 5,000 wines worldwide, golds went to Goldberg White 2024, Goldberg Graševina 2024, Select Graševina 2025, premium Graševina 2024 and 2025, selected harvest Jade 2023, and Savoj graševina and orange.

Chief winemaker Marijana Škiljo said: “This reflects enormous work in our own vineyards. From pruning to harvest, we cooperate closely with growers, knowing the grapes required for fine wine. Our wines begin in the vineyard, especially Graševina, Slavonia and the Danube region’s leading variety. It revealed our distinctive terroir and gained international recognition at one of the world’s most important competitions. Mundus Vini follows trends and adapts to change. Wines impressing such diverse international judges — winemakers, wine writers, sommeliers, distributors and journalists — have exceptional quality and potential. Our third consecutive best Croatian winery title confirms our dedication.” Mundus Vini Spring Tasting takes place each March in Neustadt, Germany, closely linked to Prowein, where medals are presented. Experienced judges and Germany’s position as the world’s largest wine importer make it especially influential for wine sales.
