A distinctive expression of Malvazija Istarska from Cattunar’s celebrated 4 Terre project in western Istria. The wine is crafted from four vineyards planted on different soils – white, grey, red and black – demonstrating how terroir shapes flavour and texture. Sur lie ageing adds depth and a creamy nuance while retaining the variety’s natural freshness and mineral edge.
Tasting Notes:
Straw gold in colour, the nose reveals apricot, acacia blossom and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate it is full flavoured and juicy, with a refreshing mineral-driven finish. The lees ageing contributes gentle texture and complexity without compromising the wine’s vibrant character.
Winemaking:
Produced from grapes sourced across four distinct Istrian soil types, the 4 Terre concept showcases the influence of terroir. Fermentation and sur lie maturation enhance texture and depth, while minimal intervention preserves the varietal purity of Malvazija Istarska and its mineral expression.
Food Pairing:
A versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with fish, seafood and chicken. It also complements grilled dishes, white sauce pasta and lighter game recipes.
ABV: 13.5%
