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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
