Product Notes

Matošević Alba Malvazija Istarska is a premier Croatian wine, exuding the authentic character of the Istrian peninsula. This elegant white wine, made from the indigenous Malvazija grape, seduces the palate with notes of ripe fruits, almonds, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The texture is lush, yet perfectly balanced with a distinctive minerality and refreshing acidity. Its harmonious composition and support from slight oak ageing delivers a beautiful, full-bodied finish. The Alba Malvazija Istarska elegantly personifies the passion of the Matošević winery, making it a delightful addition for anyone exploring the unique world of Croatian wines.

Spanning 12 hectares, the vineyard is carefully curated with dedication and precision.
