Description
In a nutshell:
A nicely textured Croatian white with bright acidity and a peachy depth that gives it both freshness and a bit of grip.
The lowdown:
Malvazija Istarska is the signature grape variety of Istria, and in this beautifully expressive wine, it really shines. The region's vineyards have a hint of Tuscany's rolling hills, but with a strong maritime influence that shapes the wine's character. This is crisp, zesty, and mineral-rich, with a complex nose of lemon, apple, apricot, peach, and pineapple, plus a delicate hint of spice. Fresh and nicely textured, it's got a touch of dried fruit depth, while the finish brings a whisper of saltiness and spice. Bracing yet full of body, it shows exactly what Istrian Malvazija is all about.
The Producer:
The Kozlovic family have been making wine in the Istrian region of Croatia since 1904. Their modern winery is near the town of Buje at northern end of the Istrian peninsula close up to the border with Slovenia. In terms of terroir the region has many similarities with the nearby Friuli in Italy and the wines, food and people share a real connection. The winery is run by Gianfranco and Antonella Kozlovic and they currently cultivate 25 hectares of vineyards planted with a mix of indigenous and international varieties. All harvesting is done by hand. In 2012 they opened a new winery in their spectacular location where they're keen to welcome visitors. Gianfranco is a perfectionist and he is constantly striving to improve his wine. He takes a modern approach to winemaking and produces seriously good wines.
When to drink:
Very versatile, this is a great match for things like wild mushroom risotto or creamy chicken with tarragon. Its bright acidity and subtle texture keep the richness in check while making sure the flavours don't get lost in the sauce.
Suitable for Vegans
