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: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
