Malvazija JRE 2021 displays a medium-deep golden color. It is neither shy nor obvious on the nose, slowly revealing itself layer by layer. The fruit ripeness and subtle richness are noticeable, with hints of ripe peach, melon, and even some tropical fruits, reflecting its warm origin. Lemon and floral notes provide gentle support, accompanied by a touch of butter.
Dry and fuller-bodied, it pleasantly coats the mouth with an oily texture and moderate acidity. As with the 2020 vintage, the nose suggests a bigger, fuller wine; however, on the palate, it is dense and concentrated, revealing notes of stone fruits and flinty nuances. With time, additional layers emerge on the palate. Very nicely structured and elegant, with slight tension and a touch of “nervosité.” Closer in style to 2019 than 2020, it is in perfect condition (summer 2025), with plenty of primary fruit still dominating its character. We aim to keep it balanced and food-friendly, and this is precisely what the Malvazija JRE 2021 delivers.
This is a perfect gastronomic wine, capable of pairing with a wide variety of dishes. With its restrained character, it complements most fish or white meat–based dishes, particularly when grilled. Excellent with grilled fish, scallops, shrimp, roasted chicken, or pasta with truffles.
Fully mature. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2032.
