Malvazija G 2019 – 10 days of maceration

Malvazija G 2019 – ten days of maceration

Malvazija G 2019 An expressive and gastronomic Istrian Malvasia for lovers of full-bodied, textured white wines. Ten days of skin contact have given it depth, complexity, and a confident character that evolves beautifully in the glass.

Manžan above the Gulf of Trieste

The grapes come from a vineyard in Manžan, approximately 90 metres above sea level. The location offers views towards the Bay of Koper and the Julian Alps, and the proximity to the sea and the Istrian countryside define the environment in which the Malvazija ripens.

Ten days on the foreskin

After pressing, the grapes macerated on their skins for ten days. The longer contact with the grape skins added texture, a more pronounced structure, and complexity to the wine, all while preserving the recognisable character of Istrian Malvasia.

In a glass

The wine combines ripe fruitiness, delicate herbal notes, minerality and a pleasant structure. On the palate, it is full but balanced, with a long finish and the characteristic energy of wines from Manžan. With time in the glass, its layers harmonise even better.

To the table

Malvazija G pairs excellently with seafood, roasted fish, poultry, risottos, roasted vegetables, dishes with Mediterranean herbs, and semi-mature cheeses. Its structure also allows for richer sauces and a more leisurely enjoyment with a multi-course meal.

Serving

Serve slightly chilled in a larger glass. Allow it some time before drinking to open up the aromatics, texture, and long finish.
