This legacy gives rise to wines that now stand shoulder to shoulder with the most esteemed labels on the global wine scene. The latest results from prestigious international tastings once again confirm this long-standing story of excellence.
At the Decanter World Wine Awards 2026, several wines from Vinarija Kutjevo were awarded silver medals, including Vrhunska Graševina 2025, Graševina Vinkomir 2024, Maximo Oro 2022, and Maximo Nero 2022.

Vrhunska Graševina 2025 was awarded a gold medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2026, while Graševina Vinkomir 2024 received a gold award at the Mundus Vini Spring Tasting 2026.

It is precisely in this consistency that the power of Vinarija Kutjevo lies—in the ability to transform traditional values into modern, internationally recognized wines.
Alongside the Graševina varieties and premium lines of white and red wines, additional confirmation of the diversity and quality of the portfolio comes from the gold medals won at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles for Rosé Premium 2025 (Rosé Session) and de Gotho Sauvignon Blanc (Sauvignon Selection).
