December 17, 2018 – Each December, members of the active women’s wine association WOW celebrate Christmas in the best way they can – with the wine that is the central theme of this women’s group!
While there are around 200 members in Croatia, there were about thirty in Zagreb for this celebratory evening. Since the group was founded seven years ago, the members have ensured that they regularly meet each month, and sometimes even several times a month, in various places, and often by the establishments of their own members.
Thus, on December 12th, members of WOW met in the showroom of the pharmacy Priroda on Vlaška Street, where the hostess, Mirjana Brlečić – a master of pharmacy – welcomed all members.
The author of top quality cosmetics Nikel, whose products continue to conquer gold medals and other medals internationally – most often for innovation – prepared gifts for her friends from the association including a hyaluronic mask with C and B vitamins.
“I guarantee that this energizing mask will allow you to be beautiful and shine for the holidays,” said Brlečić.
Members of WOW and media representatives drank and enjoyed cakes by Catering Lisak, salami from Four Bees, and last but not least, Honest Wines Matković – exhibiting an excellent combination of natural brands coming together to heal.
“It’s not business. The production days are packed with hundreds of beautiful and less beautiful stories that make us proud of the wines we have created for all the sincere, human moments you will experience. Without fancy words, colorful labels and brilliant advertisements, life is for us is a genuine dedication to creating good wines. Maybe that’s why Matković’s wines have an inexplicable power. They are inspired by some small, unspoken truths, which, like our wines, make the finest languages,” said Iva Matković.
Guests enjoyed the Cabernet Franc 2015 at the event. A high-quality dry wine from the Slatina-Orahovica vineyard, it is 13.4% alcohol content that was macerated for ten days and vinified for two years in barrique Slavonian oak barrels and then bottled at least six months before going on the market.
After Žarko Gojčeta from Four Bees met the guests to explain his fantastic salami products, the group switched to a top dry wine, Frankovka from 2013, which was also a star of the evening. With 13% alcohol, this wine is macerated for ten days and vinified for two years in barrique Slavonian oak barrels and then stored in bottles at least six months before going on the market.
The last wine was a top quality, dry cabernet sauvignon from 2013 with 13.6% alcohol content. This cabernet was also macerated for ten days but vinified for four years in barrique barrels of Slavonian oak and then bottled at least six months before going on the market.
