It finally happened! The list of officially authorized varieties of agricultural plants kept within the Register of Varieties recognized in Serbia has been changed so the official primary (main) name of the grape variety has become Grašac instead of previously official Italian Riesling. Accordingly, the following names of variety: Italian Riesling and Grašac Beli are included in the list of synonyms / secondary names of the grape variety Grašac in the Register.
This change will further strengthen efforts to position Grašac as an authentic grape variety, especially in the area of Vojvodina (North Serbia) and improve reputation of wines made from this grape variety.

Also, it can be expected that  this change will result in an increasing number of winemakers who place Grašac name on their wine labels.
