The wine region of Istra
Istrian peninsula on the Adriatic, Croatia's smallest wine region but one of its most renowned. Signature Malvazija Istarska (50-70%): expressive, lively whites with notes of acacia, green apple, citrus, fresh almond and marked saline minerality - a perfect match with seafood. Native Teran in tannic, tangy red (blackberry, blood, earth), a unique profile. Also dense Refošk, round Merlot.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
