MALVASIA

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.
