Matosevic Alba Malvazija Istarska 2025

Fresh, aromatic and wonderfully expressive, Matosevic Alba Malvazija Istarska 2025 is a benchmark example of Croatia's flagship white grape from the sun-drenched vineyards of Istria. Produced entirely from Malvazija Istarska, this elegant white wine captures the variety's vibrant fruit, floral aromatics and distinctive mineral character. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged on its fine lees, it delivers exceptional freshness alongside impressive texture and complexity.

The grapes are hand harvested from vineyards planted on limestone, marlstone and sandstone soils, before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel. No oak or malolactic fermentation is used, allowing the purity of the grape and the influence of the Istrian terroir to take centre stage.

• The nose opens with ripe peach, apricot, citrus zest, acacia blossom and chamomile.
• The palate is fresh and elegant, with juicy stone fruit, citrus, vibrant acidity and a distinctive saline minerality.
• The finish is clean, crisp and refreshing, with lingering floral notes and a subtle almond nuance typical of Malvazija Istarska.

A beautifully crafted Croatian white wine that balances ripe fruit with vibrant freshness and mineral precision. It pairs particularly well with seafood, grilled fish and Mediterranean cuisine.
