Matošević `Alba` Malvazija Istarska from Istria, Croatia. This still Dry White wine, made from 100% Malvazija Istarska grapes, is fermented in stainless steel with no skin contact and aged on its fine lees to develop a rounded palate, without oak or malolactic fermentation to preserve its bright varietal aromas. It presents an aromatic bouquet of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus, with delicate floral notes. The palate is fresh and elegant, showcasing pronounced salinity, refreshing acidity, and a hint of bitter almond. A versatile choice, it pairs beautifully with lean fish, shellfish, or poultry. This wine is vegan and vegetarian, with uncertified organic practices followed in the vineyards.

75.0CL , 12.5% ABV

After manual sorting and destemming, the grapes were gently pressed in a pneumatic press to yield a very clear juice. This was left to settle and was then fermented in stainless-steel vats. Grapes from specific vineyard plots were fermented separately with their indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine was aged on its fine lees until January to develop complexity. Blending of single vineyard vats took place in late January and the wine was bottled in February. This wine saw no oak or malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the bright varietal aromas.

This vibrant Malvazija Istarska offers an aromatic bouquet of ripe peach, apricot, and bright citrus, beautifully complemented by delicate floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a rounded texture with pronounced salinity and refreshing acidity, leading to a clean, elegant finish.
