Plešivica hakkında
Plešivica is in the hills around Jastrebarsko, less than an hour's drive from Zagreb, in Croatia's continental wine country. It is often described as the country's most exciting region and its main centre for sparkling wine made by the traditional method, from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and local varieties such as Plavec Žuti, Veltlinac Crveni and Portugizac.
Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc are also grown here, and the character of the wines is cool-climate and fresh, with high acidity. The hills are lined with small family cellars, and it is an easy day trip from Zagreb by car or by tour.
