Dear guests and friends of wine, we present you our wine list for 2021.! Just as the quality of wine improves with years, we make sure our wine list improves too. Our work and dedication were recognized by wine critics in the most prestigious wine magazines in the 2019. awarding us with couple of medals in different categories. These awards give us strength and faith in what we do and we can hardly wait to share new experiences and announce new wines in our offer for you. Listening to your wishes, following global trends and putting the emphasis on our region and Croatia as a wine country, this year we have prepared for you a large number of new labels. In addition to the famous wine regions, classic Old World such as France, Italy, Spain and others, we put an even greater emphasis on other world wine regions this year. Although less widely publicized and represented in the wine lists, they certainly deserve further attention. From Nandi Hills in India across the Galilee region in Israel, Garzón regions in Uruguay etc... in our wine list we will present many ‘new stars’. Sparkling wines from Croatia and England, Sake from Japan, the new great wines of Bordeaux and on the other hand, low-cost wines from many other countries, are all part of our wine story. With even bigger collection, this year our wine list offers some of the best, aged, Croatian wines from many different vintages. However, this year, we have gone a step further. We introduce you a whole new category of wine that was aged under the sea. During the past few years we have been tasting and collecting bottles that aged on the bottom of the Adriatic Sea. The result is unique and the wine shows again all of its beauty and proof why it was always called divine. We invite you to discover and taste how the same wine, from the same vintage, from the same producer, developed differently in the bottle… Our sommeliers will be happy to answer all your questions and we will all together make your experience unforgettable! Your Nautika Team ...our heritage... CROATIAN TRADITION Enology and viticulture in Croatia has a long tradition. They are distributed in almost all parts of the country, and wine culture is part of the traditional way of life. Although the vines on Croatian soil were presented much earlier, the oldest artifact that proves wine-growing and wine production dates back to the 5th century BC. Phoenicians and Greeks brought the fi rst cuttings of vine to the Adriatic coast. The mild climate in the area of coastal Croatia, the sea wealth, fertile land of many fi elds and bays on islands and coastal areas accounted our country to be attractive for settlement and cultivation of wines. Phoenicians as traders in Istria and then the Greeks with the establishment of ‘’policy’’ in Dalmatia such as Korkyra nigra - Black Korcula, Issa - Vis, Pharos - Hvar, are most responsible for the cultivation of vines in coastal Croatia. In the continental part of Croatia wine trade arrived several centuries later. It was partly spread by Illyrians and Thracians, but the most responsible for its spreading were the Romans. Due to the exceptional vineyard locations and excellence,wine of Pannonia, today Slavonia, competed with the best wines of the Apennine peninsula and the Old World. The name that the Romans assigned ‘’Vallis Aurea‘’ or ‘’Golden Valley‘’ indicates what kind of vineyards we are talking about. Croatia can be divided into two wine-growing regions. These are coastal and continental, with additional sub-regions that each of them has. Croatia has more than 100 different indigenous varieties, but we are faced with the disappearance of a large number of them. Nevertheless, many winemakers are turning to the revitalization and cultivation of old varieties and we will certainly support that. As this is our life, our duty and responsibility, our heritage, our tradition! LIT. ...let’s start with... Croatian Sparkling Wines Sparkling wines in Croatia are produced in almost all regions. On the one hand we have sparkling wines from moderately hilly landscapes with colder climate and on the other hand there are wines from extremely sunny continental and Mediterranean areas. More terroir ... more different sparkling wines. With a balanced sun hours and rainfalls, cooler regions certainly have more ideal conditions for sparkling wines. They are permeated with more freshness and excellent quality. In addition to the famous international or autochthonous varieties used, winemakers also use the traditional method in production.

  • Making Sense of Memory
    Copyright © Museum Tusculanums Press Making Sense of Memory Monuments and Landscape in Croatian Istria1 Jonas Frykman Frykman, Jonas 2003: Making Sense of Memory. Monuments and Landscape in Croatian Istria. – Ethnologia Europaea 33:2: 107–120. When the actual terror is over, how do you reconcile without trying to pay back? With the falling apart of Yugoslavia, past, suppressed injustices remerged and were frequently used to connect the present with bitter memories. In the ethnically diverse region of Istria, however, it has been difficult for any group to claim its interpretation of history to be superior to others. Seeking to explain the Istrian case and within it the role of the esuli, the article juxtaposes the material discourse represented by monuments with the workings of memory and the dynamics which jostle sleeping, hidden, or private memory into public discourse. It is argued that in Istria, the absence of an ethnic “master narrative,” and the coexistence of many different groups sharing the territory has been useful for keeping nightmarish memory of ethnic violence at bay. Instead, place has come to matter more than history. Within landscapes and monuments, experiences of terror and narratives of martyrdom find a resting place, however uneasy.

Changes have been made to the yield of certain wine-making varieties Certain wine-making varieties covered by the specification have the potential to produce higher yields under this controlled designation of origin, and it is therefore necessary to modify the yields, increasing them for the varieties Crâmpoșie selecționată, Negru de Drăgășani and Pinot gris. The section ‘Maximum yields’ of the single document and the Chapter IV of the specification relating to wine-growing and wine production are amended. 2.2. The demarcated area of production has been modified to include two municipalities with their component villages Located in the Prahova County, the municipalities of Apostolache and Iordăcheanu, together with their component villages of Iordăcheanu, Mocești and Plavia, have similar climate and terrain characteristics to the rest of the area, and they must therefore be included in the geographical area of the designation of origin.

VOL. 13 No 2 171¿185 ZAGREB June 30, 2004 original scientific paper / izvorni znanstveni rad THE SOIL ENVIRONMENT FOR TUBER MAGNATUM GROWTH IN MOTOVUN FOREST, ISTRIA GILBERTO BRAGATO1,BARBARA SLADONJA2 &ÐORDANO PER[URI]2 1Istituto Sperimentale per la Nutrizione delle Piante, Via Trieste 23, 34170 Gorizia, Italy 2Institut za poljoprivredu i turizam, Carla Huguesa 8, 52440 Pore~, Croatia Bragato, G., Sladonja, B. & Per{uri}, \.: The soil environment for Tuber magnatum growth in Motovun Forest, Istria. Nat. Croat., Vol. 13, No. 2, 171–185, 2004, Zagreb. The mixed oak forest located near the town of Motovun is a well-known white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) producing area of the Istria region. Motovun Forest covers a 900-ha area in the flu- vial plain of the Mirna River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea through a hilly landscape originat- ing in a sedimentary sequence of a Triassic-Eocene carbonatic platform and Eocene-Oligocene Flysch turbidites. T. magnatum production has been decreasing in the last 10 years and a study was specifically performed in an attempt to explain this. Productive soils of the valley bottom were compared with unproductive soils on the slopes, the latter being drier, thinner and more developed than the former. T. magnatum carpophores are not found all over the fluvial plain and Motovun Forest was further subdivided into productive, unproductive and occasionally productive areas. All soils of the valley bottom were thick and continuously rejuvenated by the frequent arrival of fine sediments from slopes, but only unproductive ones were characterized by water saturation in some periods of the year.

  • The Atlas Collections
    THE ATLAS COLLECTIONS Dear Guests, Welcome to ATLAS - a labour of love that honours my grandfather, CS Hwang, the late founder of Parkview Group, and the beautiful space he created in which ATLAS resides. It is our hope that your experience at ATLAS reflects the passion and attention that has gone into every aspect of its creation. A grand and beautiful space, we invite you to unwind, enjoy, celebrate and indulge as our talented and dedicated ATLAS team makes you feel most welcome and at home. The ATLAS Collections feature two of the world’s most remarkable physical collections of Gin and Champagne. Building the ATLAS Collections was a monumental task which took over two years to curate and assemble. We are also delighted to feature a selection of rare and exceptional still wines and whiskies from my own family’s private cellar, which for the first time since its inception almost 40 years ago, has been opened especially for our guests at ATLAS. Building upon the modest collection of wines started by my grandfather, the Parkview Family Cellar found a permanent home in 1989 with the opening of the Parkview Group’s flagship property, Hong Kong Parkview. Initially consisting of a small collection of 50 bottles of right bank Bordeaux wines, the collection grew steadily under the stewardship of my uncle, George Wong, and his son Alex. By 2000, the collection was at 3,000 bottles and has now expanded beyond the right bank to other regions in France and the rest of the world. Currently, the collection stands at 50,000 bottles of fine wine and over 10,000 bottles of whiskey acquired through reputable merchants, auctions, and numerous trips to the wineries and distilleries where suppliers have now become close friends, ensuring that the family always has access to the finest and rarest bottles.
