Croatia's continental wine region, located in the flat Slavonian plain of eastern Croatia between the Sava and Drava rivers — a completely different landscape and wine style from the coastal Dalmatia and Istria. The region's continental climate, deep loess and clay soils, and forested hills produce wines from indigenous varieties including Graševina (Welschriesling) — Croatia's most planted white grape — alongside Traminac (Gewürztraminer) and Frankovka (Blaufränkisch). Slavonia is famous for Slavonian oak — the primary seasoning wood for Italy's finest Barolo and Brunello — but its wines are among Croatia's most underexplored.
