MALVASIA

2013 Vina Laguna

Grapes Malvasia
Colour White
Origin Croatia, Istria
ABV 12.5%

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. L&S (Jun 2014)

Malvazija, or Malvasia, is a speciality of Croatia's Italianate Istrian peninsula, the source of many of the best whites in this increasingly exciting wine country. This is an accessible unoaked lighter dry white that is in the same ballpark as Italian Pinot Grigio but with a good deal more personality than you would generally find in that much-maligned style at this price: the juicy Muscat grape and peachy fruit are matched with a pleasing touch of grapefruit pithiness and softly insinuating acidity for simply grilled white fish.

Vina Laguna

Vina Laguna hails from the Istrian Peninsular, opposite Venice at the northern end of the Adriatic sea. Grapes are drawn from a variety of soil types, dependant on grape variety and benefit both from the warm influences of a Mediterranean climate and the cooling breezes of the southern Alps. Recent tastings of old and new vintages have demonstrated that this is a winery with serious intent and now under the watchful eye of winemaker Milan Budinski, with experience in California's Napa, Sonoma, Chile's Maule and San Juan in Argentina, there is every reason for us to keep following the progression here. Changes in the vineyard are afoot. We take note when Milan says that, ''previously I was working with the material I had, now I'm working with the material I want''. His wines amply demonstrate this.
