Manuela thanked her family for their support during her studies and the Austrian Wine Academy for guiding her through a challenging yet wonderful educational journey, while also highlighting the friendships she formed along the way. Other Wine Academics from Croatia include Daniel Čečavac and Srđan Lisac. We congratulate our dear wine sister and partner on these wonderful achievements, and we also note that the next step is the title of Master of Wine: a distinction currently held by only one Croatian, Ivan Barbić.
