Tasting Notes

A complex, layered expression of Istrian Malvasia.

🍷

Appearance

Golden-yellow with a greenish glint — the deeper hue of a Malvasia raised slowly on its lees rather than rushed to bottle.

🌼

Nose

Opens with toasted almonds, sage, and chamomile, then evolves toward ripe pears, green apples, and elderflower tea as it breathes in the glass.

🥜

Palate

Broad and lingering, finishing with noble bitter almond and a mineral-salty touch carried in from the Adriatic — unmistakably southern Istria.

Food Pairings

Built for the Istrian table — and yours

🦑
Adriatic Seafood

Grilled scampi, sea bass, or shellfish — the wine's salinity and acidity mirror the coast it comes from.

🍳
Truffle Pasta & Risotto

Istria's white truffles with fuži pasta or creamy risotto meet their match in the wine's toasted, savory depth.

🧀
Aged Cheeses

Mature sheep's and cow's milk cheeses — the lees-aged texture stands up where lighter whites fade.

🍗
Roast Poultry & White Meats

Herb-roasted chicken or pork loin with Mediterranean herbs — a white wine with the structure of a red.
