This is the quintessential expression of Slovenian Malvazija Istriana from one of the best locations for the grape. Oolong, Mandarin blossom, pineapple and gunpowder, it has a good bite of tannin bolstered by salty minerality. The perfect companion to buttery grilled seafood, cured pork, vegetables cooked over wood.
