JRE Malvazija 2019 shows medium golden colour and some viscosity. Medium intense and nicely developed on the nose. Honey, gingerbread, touch of vanilla and caramel. Yes, it is a bit oak aged, and it is not hiding it, but oak aromas are integrated with craft. Fine, warm, complex, persistent.
Dry on the palate with plenty of texture and fuller body though never gives an impression of being warm. Acidity is moderate, well balanced. Aroma profile on the palate seems to be more a different story compared to nose. Oak is gone, freshness and focus are there. Delicate? Oh, yes! Should you swirl it in the mouth, it will give you pleasurable sensations. There is plenty of tension on the palate making it a wonderful food friendly wine. It is a palate, where it truly excels! Very good indeed! Don’t give it to big glass as delicacy might disappear. A wine with true Istrian character and poise. It delivers long, attractive finish.
This is a perfect gastronomic wine being able to pair with diverse number of dishes. With its salinity, and clear-cut finish, it is a perfect match with grilled fish, grilled scallops, grilled shrimps, roasted chicken, pasta with truffles …
Fully mature. Best to drink from 2023 to 2030, i.e.. for another five to eight years at least.
