Product Notes

Matošević Alba Antiqua Malvazija Istarska is an exceptional Croatian wine hailing from the Istrian peninsula. This golden-hued delight boasts a seductive, complex aroma of dried fruit, honey, and spices. Its texture, amiable and robust, is marked by ample acidity, creating a harmonious combination. Barrel ageing in French oak adds a sophisticated touch of vanilla and toast, culminating into a long, lingering finish. A distinguished creation from the indigenous Malvazija Istarska grape, this wine exudes the character and charm of its Mediterranean origin, aptly displaying winemaker Ivica Matošević's wisdom and passion for viniculture.
