Abstract

'Graševina' is one of the basic elements of the recognizability of Croatian viticulture and winemaking. Statistically speaking, every fourth vine in Croatian vineyards is a 'Graševina', and if we look only at the continental part of Croatia, where this variety is actually grown, 'Graševina' makes up 50% of all vineyards. In the case of wine that is put on the market originating from Croatian vineyards, this variety occupies as much as 40% of the total volume. In the past few years, several questions regarding this variety have been brought up, especially the question of its origin. In addition, the question that often arises is how this variety became so popular in Croatia and what is the future of this variety and whether, due to its characteristics that often made it the first choice of winegrowers during the 20th century, it will continue to be used for planting new plantations in warmer, but an uncertain and unpredictable climate of the future. In this paper, in addition to the presentation of knowledge related to the mentioned topics, the characteristics of the 'Graševina' clones selected after the clonal selection of this variety in the Kutjevo wine growing area, which were recently registered, are presented.
