Winemaker’s notes
Malvazija shows exceptional density and recognizable orange color due to prolonged maceration. The smell is very intense in which domaniate the aromas of ripe apricots followed by hints of peaches and melons. On the palate it is well balanced, rounded and very aromatic.
Best served at room temperature.
