Beth's Smart Sip – Iločki Podrumi Quality Traminac 2022

If it's good enough for the British royals, it's good enough for us

Shimmering pale gold in color, Iločki Podrumi's Traminac from the Srijem Vukovo Vineyard – Croatia’s Danube region – is scintillating in the glass, on the nose, and on the palate. Floral and fruity, soft and spicy – its freshly picked flower aromatics, ginger and honey notes, and juicy citrus, stone, and tropical flavors make it a wonderful apéritif or an ideal accompaniment to spicy Asian cuisine, Indian curries, brunch fare, grilled chicken, pasta, fresh fruit salads, and soft pungent cheeses like Gorgonzola, Roquefort, and Stilton.

No wonder a 1947 Iločki Podrumi Traminac was selected for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953 – and again for King Charles’ coronation in 2023 – but you can enjoy a rendition here at select locations in the U.S., too, thanks to importer Croatian Premium Wine.
