Tasting Notes: Distinct aromas of Slavonia, like a late summer fruit basked opened in a pine forest. Aromas of spiced grapefruit and eucalyptus, with a soft and chewy palate of tropical fruits.
Enjoy while laying out on a blanketed picnic, stretching in a hammock hung between two pines, or while casually floating on Kopacki Rit.
