2009 MALVASIA Collio i Clivi
| Grapes: Malvasia Istriana | Origin: Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia |
Lea & Sandeman review
Made from Malvasia Istriana one might be forgiven for thinking that this will be grapily scented and fruity, but far from it. The ancient and low yielding vines of the i Clivi vineyards produce a bone dry wine of great texture and restrained fruit, but with lovely fruit flavours (dry white peach and apricot) and tremendous length.Other reviews and comments
Made from old, low-yielding Malvasia Istriana, the distinctive fresh ripe apple and peach-like fruit is so juicy it's almost bouncy in its lively textural, concentrated old vine fruit quality. Fine balance and complexing lees-derived character, and a mouthwateringly bone dry, mineral finish.

"The grape variety that really characterises Croatia's Istrian vineyards, Malvasia is a wonderfully versatile style that appeals to most peoples tastes. Lots of grapey fruit with medium body and bright flavours this drinks very well on its own, yet verges on being a wine for food."
