GROW is an initiative of three wine writers from three different countries, Saša Špiranec (Croatia), Zoltán Győrffy (Hungary) and Igor Luković (Serbia).
GROW is an acronym composed of the names Graševina, Olaszrizling and Welschriesling. All of these, and more, are synonyms for the name of the great variety widely distributed across Central Europe and the Danube basin.
The aim of the project is to promote this excellent variety on the international market, connect and share experiences among countries that cultivate it, discover all aspects of the variety and its potential, and ultimately, in a synergistic effort, develop The Variety alongside local tourism.
GROW du Monde is an international wine challenge that will gather wines made from Graševina, Riesling Italico, Grašac Beli, Laški Rizling, Welschriesling, Ryzlink vlašský, Olaszrizling or Riesling Italian - call this great variety as you prefer.
Wine judges from all over the world will search this year for fourth time for the best and most authentic wines made with the grape variety we believe in. This is the GROW du Monde.
This year, GROW du Monde will be hosted by cities of Indjija and Belgrade in Serbia from 11 to 15 June. The awards ceremony will be held on 14 June in Belgrade.
