When does wine get predicate'quality wine'?

The wine in Croatia can only be given the designation 'Vrhunsko vino' if the grapes used to make the wine meet a number of criteria. One of these is the location (only the most ideal slopes qualify) so that they get enough sun hours and that the grapes have been allowed to ripen well.

Subsequently, only the best trusses are selected, paying attention to the colour, taste and perfect ratio between sugars en acids. The grapes must have had sufficient hours of sunshine to ripen. If this is not the case, the wine will not receive the predicate 'Vrhunsko vino'. Both White wine as a Red wine can receive this designation.
