🥈Silver – Expovina Wine Trophy 2025
The TERASA Sauvignon Blanc from the Matalj winery won silver at the Expovina Wine Trophy 2025 in Zurich , making it one of Serbia's best white wines. It embodies the lightness of summer and the unmistakable freshness of the Negotinska Krajina wine region.
In the glass, it appears straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose unfolds intense aromas of green tomato, gooseberry, exotic fruits, prickly pear, vineyard peach, and fresh citrus notes . On the palate, it impresses with lively acidity, elegant structure, and a refreshing minerality that reflects the terroir on the banks of the Danube.
Its grapes come from the characteristic "Terasa" vineyard in Mihajlovac , located on sandy alluvial soil near the Danube. The interplay of sun, river, and soil gives the Sauvignon Blanc its distinctive personality.
