Rakija made of 100% Grapes
Grape rakija is not Grappa. There are many varieties of this highly
appreciated rakija, but they all have in common fermentation of
grape mash without stems and without straining the wine.
In order to achieve preferred profile, specific grape cultivars
are chosen and the mash is treated with great care.
Rakija No. 20
You can find a lot of information about Traminac on the internet, but a lot
of facts doesn't give you anything about rakija made of this grape variety.
It is all about Traminac wine and you might think rakija is unkown teritory
when no one writes or talks about it. You'd be wrong, because in Banoštor
rakija made of Traminac is very famous and sought after. You should try it.

Rakija No. 16
There are several thousand varieties of muscat grapes. Only about ten of them
are among the more renowned ones. From this year, my little cellar treasures
a Black Muscat rakija, alongside Župljanka. The Black Muscat is adorned
with a characteristic fragrance, which is transferred and kept in the rakija
with careful distillation and care. Millennium grape growing tradition has
its roots in this old cultivar.

Rakija No. 15
It’s a long way from vineyard to wine. It’s even longer from vineyard to rakija.
This year’s Župljanka came a week earlier than last year. Its spirit was
conveyed to this rakija in the middle of October. In the modern age when
time is measured by minutes, rakija can be seen as a refusal to comply
with the hustle and bustle. Those who lack time to enjoy a rakija
will never be introduced to the charms of Župljanka grape rakija.

Rakija No. 10
Little things can make big differences in creating quality. That’s the case with
this rakija. With a combination of several grape cultivars, dominated by
Black Muscat, we made this rakija of muscat flavor profile. Though it takes
quite a while for this rakija to achieve its full potential, couple of years
of aging is enough for it to show its true quality.

Rakija No. 9
Diligent Dule has three vineyards and thousands of grapevines. An acquaintance
of mine introduced him to me and I knew at once he was a true Srem lander.
We agreed upon harvesting Župljanka, an autochthone grapevine cultivar
from Srem, when sugars are at peak. The year of 2015 brought us great
yields and quality. Župljanka gives high quality rakija that, under
certain conditions, can become outstanding. We'll find out.

Rakija No. 3
Župljanka is a domestic autochthone white grape cultivar made in 1960’s.
Its grapevine is very profuse, with green-yellow berries and juicy pulp.
In better years, it gives high-quality wine that can be outstanding,
like in 2013. After great effort to finish distillation during
the November rain, the rakija was left to age one year.
It was bottled and soon found its way to our relatives and friends.
