Product Notes

The Matošević Alba Malvazija Istarska is a distinct Croatian wine that exudes a delightful array of aromas. This wine offers a lovely blend of fresh apple, citrus, and aromatic herbs, overlaid with subtle hints of almond. On the palate, it is crisp and beautifully balanced, mingling flavours of stone fruits with mineral undertones. Maturing in large oak barrels lends a creamy complexity to its finish. It is incredibly versatile, pairing brilliantly with seafood, light meats, and vegetarian fare. This wine is a testament to the potential of Croatia's native Malvazija Istarska grape - truly a jewel of the Istrian peninsula.
