Malvazija 2020 Korenika & Moškon BIO Demeter

SKU: 1104 EAN: 3830022300027

In the glass the colour is golden yellow with orange highlights. Strong mineral-fruity aroma with noticeable alcohol, orange peel and fermented apples. Medium to full body, medium acidity accompanied by bitter notes. Mineral-fruity taste. You won't like it if you don't like bitterness and higher alcohol in your wine. A pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste lasts. Try drinking at a slightly higher temperature if you want to get the most flavour out of the wine. If you want to knock the alcohol down more, chill to overcool. Half an hour of decanting will flesh out the wine nicely. Suitable for cold seafood starters, white fish, shellfish, pasta, risottos, poultry and spicy cheeses. The wine is authentic, full of flavour and masterfully made. With character.

FRESH WINE

The wines, which the winemaker calls the fresh range: Malvasia, Tris, Refošk, Bis - are carefully made but not too demanding wines from younger vineyards. Aged in stainless steel containers, they are left to rest on fine lees for up to seven months, which helps to make the wines not quite classically fresh and playful as they lose some of their primary aromas and gain exceptional elegance and full body. For a fresh line, the label uses a white base to convey their freshness, simplicity and elegance.

TERROIR - A COMBINATION OF VARIETIES, SOIL AND CLIMATE

Roughly speaking, the richer the soil, the more vines it can support and the lower the quality of the grapes. The poorer the soil, the deeper the vines take root and the more minerals the vines absorb, which are important for rich wines.

The Istrian soil of our vineyards is a mixture of flysch, composed mainly of marine sediments, siltstone and limestone. This soil composition gives the grapes additional value in minerality. The combination of variety, soil and microclimate, known in Istria by the French as 'terroir', is the well-known combination of Malvasia and Refoscia on limestone soils, which gives the wine its exceptional minerality and the uniqueness of this terroir.
