TASTING NOTE: Ilok Cellars is situated in the Croatian town of Ilok, on the banks of the Danube River. This is a fresh, fragrant, juicy wine with green apple and lemon sprinkled with peppery spice. An interesting departure and a stunning value. Chill and sip with garden salads, or grilled chicken breasts marinated in lemon and olive oil. (Vintages panel, March 2018) |
