ŽDREPČEVA KRV
Table semisweet red wine

Ždrepčeva krv is one of the oldest wine brands in our country. It was made several decades ago and was one of the most popular wines in former Yugoslavia.
This wine owns its unique taste to the original coupage of specially selected red sorts (Vranac, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gamet, Muscat or Ottonel) cultivated in the top quality black soil. It is interesting that much before the creation of the brand, a wine of similar recipe was sold exclusively in pharmacies due to its healing properties.
What distinguishes this wine from other wines in the market is that this is a semisweet Muscat wine. The color of Ždrepčeva krv is also characteristic, because it is ruby red and not deep red, so it resembles the color of stallion blood. This is thanks to the coupage of wine, i.e. mixing of several sorts of wines and not mixing of several sorts of grape. After the Winery privatization the brand reappeared in foreign countries and became the most popular wine in Bosnia and Herzegovina and it was the first major Serbian export product in Croatia. Today this wine can be found in the territory of entire former Yugoslavia, but also in U.S.A., Australia, Switzerland, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, Russia and Japan.
Ždrepčeva krv is enchanting the true wine aficionados.
