A Beautiful Start to Summer: Falstaff Honors Our Rosés
Today, we celebrate a significant milestone in the Korta Katarina Winery story.
In this year’s Falstaff Rosé Trophy, more than 850 rosé wines from across Europe were evaluated by the expert panel of Falstaff Magazine, one of the most respected authorities in the world of wine. Only a select group earned a place in the prestigious ‘Special Selection’.
With immense pride, we share that Rosé Penny has been awarded 93 points, and Classic Rosé 91 points, placing both among the highest rated rosés of the entire competition.
This achievement carries profound meaning for us. Korta Katarina was founded through the vision and generosity of Lee and Penny Anderson, whose love for Croatia and commitment to its people shaped the very soul of our winery. Their belief in the potential of Pelješac, its terroir, its heritage, and its future continues to guide every decision we make.
🍇 Rosé Penny, named in honor of Penny Anderson, reflects her elegance, warmth, and quiet strength. Crafted with a refined gastronomic sensibility, it represents a new stylistic chapter for our winery, one designed to stand confidently among the world’s most distinguished rosés. Its debut vintage earning 93 points from Falstaff is a powerful affirmation of that vision.
🍇 Classic Rosé, awarded 91 points, continues its thoughtful evolution. Brighter aromatics, expressive red fruit, and layers of citrus bring new precision and character while remaining true to the approachable Adriatic style that defines Korta Katarina.
A proud moment for Korta Katarina and a beautiful continuation of the story Lee and Penny began on the shores of Orebić.
