| Notes: |
"Malvasia is an overlooked grape, one that's most often employed in sweet dessert wines. But there's also some marvelous dry versions. One that I'm enjoying this summer is an odd duck, a dry, intensely aromatic Malvasia from Croatia, which, for me, was love at first sip. Made from grapes grown in Istria along the Adriatic's northern coast, the 2005 Kozlovic Malvazija is pale yellow with glints of green and a scent of wildflowers. Taste it once and you want to ask: Where has this wine been all my life? With some roasted pistachios, it's a perfect warm-weather aperitif."
Review of a previous 2005 vintage by S. Irene Virbila, Los Angeles Times Food & Wine Editor.
The 2008 vintage has just come in and we are really excited about its freshness and its pronounced citrus flavor. |
