Malvazija 2025 shows a bright, pale lemon color with plenty of tiny carbon dioxide bubbles. The nose is youthful, clean and precise, with medium intensity and nice layering. With notes of ripe grapefruit, lime, orange blossom, apricot, a hint of dried Mediterranean herbs, and subtle spiciness. Bold, yet not showy.
On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and vibrant, its youth being its greatest virtue. As every year, this is an early release, showing plenty of intensity and appeal. Medium-bodied with well-balanced acidity, the flavours are vibrant, refreshing and nicely layered. There is a lot of energy on the palate, leading to a long, saline and mouth-watering finish.
We believe we have produced yet another confident expression of malvazija istriana, one that will bring joy whether savored on its own or paired with food.

Generally speaking, this malvazija istriana is a very friendly food wine where food matching is easy to find. It is no brainer with local, Istrian seafood, white fish and risotto. It will also go nicely with poultry and lightly spiced Asian dishes or even Paella.
Best enjoyed young, but it will continue to offer pleasure for two to three years after release.
Drink between 2026 and 2029.
