Kabola - Malvazija

2023

100% Malvazija Istarska

Croatia

Known fondly by some as the "Tuscany of Croatia," Istria is home to Kabola, a winery that captures the region's winemaking heritage and stunning terroir. Established in 1891, Kabola produces organic wines that reflect the beauty of the Adriatic Sea and rolling hills. The peninsula’s sunny days and cool nights create the perfect environment for growing grapes with intense flavors and refreshing acidity. Their Malvazija (perhaps better known as Malvasia or Macabeo) showcases aromatic elegance with notes of ripe peaches, apricots, citrus, floral hints and a touch of almond. This wine's balanced fruitiness, minerality, and refreshing acidity make it an ideal match for grilled scallops with lemon butter sauce or Istrian truffle risotto.
