A
courier
of the now
famous
cellars
of Schloss
Johannisberg
in
1775.
went
to get official
permission
to
start
the
harvest,
but
he
was several
weeks
too late because
bandits
kidnapped
him.
When
he came
back,
the
mold had already
attacked
the
grapes
and
so
"poor
cellarer"
became
responsible
for the first
late
harvest.
Fortunately,
the
grapes
were
already
mature
enough,
so
it
was
not
destroyed
by
mildew,
on
the contrary,
it enriched
the
wine.
Thus
was
created
a
new
style
of
wine
–
predicate wines.
Predicate
wines
are
quality
wines
which
satisfy the
special
requirements
prescribed.
These
are
wines
that
in
good
years
and
appropriate
conditions
of
ripening
grapes
on
the vine,
and
depending on
their
degree of
overripe
and
time
of
harvesting and processing,
achieve
a special
quality.
Croatian
law
of
wine
distinguishes
five
types of
predicate
wines
that
can
carry
tags:
late
harvest,
selected
harvest,
selected
harvest of
berries,
selected
harvest
of
dried berries
and
ice
wine.
