🍷 Matošević – Alba Malvazija Istarska
Croatia | Istria | Malvazija Istarska
Style: Still White Wine | Aromatic and Textured
Winemaking: Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the purity of fruit and aromatic precision, with extended lees contact to add depth and a subtle creaminess. A modern, elegant take on Istria’s flagship white variety.
Farming: From sustainably managed vineyards on the Istrian Peninsula, where limestone and flysch soils, combined with Mediterranean breezes, yield fresh, mineral-driven wines with regional character.

🌿 A pure expression of Istrian Malvazija—bright, aromatic, and beautifully textured.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with golden hints—luminous and elegant.

👃 On the Nose:
Fresh and fragrant. Notes of green apple, pear, and citrus blossom are layered with hints of acacia, almond, and coastal herbs.

👅 On the Palate:
Crisp and refined. Lively citrus and orchard fruit flavours unfold with a gentle roundness from lees ageing. A mineral backbone and clean acidity carry through to a long, savoury finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled sea bass, prawn risotto, Istrian fuži pasta, or sheep’s milk cheese. A versatile white that complements both coastal and Mediterranean fare.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now or over the next 3–4 years for optimal freshness and finesse.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Matošević’s Alba is a benchmark Malvazija—vibrant, polished, and deeply rooted in Istrian terroir. A white wine that combines elegance with authentic regional flair.
