The Rizvanac variety in Hrvatsko Zagorje covers an area of 1.6 ha. It is a variety that ripens in the second period, has a lush canopy and good and regular yields.
Due to its susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea (grey mould), growing in humid and warmer climates is avoided. It is susceptible to downy mildew and sensitive to low temperatures.
Growing on elevated vine-training systems and the application of partial defoliation ensure good ventilation of the vine and reduce the occurrence of disease. It has higher fertility in basal buds, and is suitable for short pruning.
The wines, especially young wines, are very fruity, fragrant, drinkable, of moderate intensity, and contain typical aromas of the variety. They are often left semi-dry and are regularly used to make predicate wines, although prolonged leaving on the vine often leads to problems with Botrytis cinerea (grey mould). They are not left for aging, and are consumed young instead.
