Buzet

History traces back wine in Buzet to the roman time. But it was during the middle-age that Buzet got a reputation. At that time, the vineyards belong to the Bordeaux wine region.

Actually, Buzet wines come from grape varieties from the Bordeaux region: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Red wine counts for 90% of the production.

Red wine is powerful and meaty. It can be compared with Haut Médoc wine from Bordeaux.

Do not confuse Buzet in the South West of France with Buzet in Croatia !
