Tasting Notes: Tomislav's grandfather was a pioneer in reviving the Škrlet grape, and following in his footsteps, Tomislav has continued that quest. However, Tomba's grandfather also always told him that the best wine of the region for every day drinking, was an an equal blend of the two iconic white varietals of Moslavina: Škrlet and Graševina. So as an ode to both Tomba's grandather, and these two prominent varietals - Ikons was born.
