KABOLA Malvazija 2025

Here we have a superb vintage from organic farming from a variety of Malvasia specific to Istria (Croatian region). The wine is dry while retaining refined freshness, pleasant minerality and medium body. It opens with white flowers , citrus fruits , green apple and apricot . The wine is harmonious and very pleasant to drink, with menthol notes in the aftertaste. It is exceptionally balanced, with intense flavor and a beautiful finish.

Croatia may be a very young state, but it is a very old wine country. Wine in Croatia has a long, long history. Vines have been grown here since Antiquity. They were introduced around 5 centuries BC by the Greeks, who planted the first vines in southern Dalmatia, particularly on the islands, whose rocky slopes plunging steeply into an indigo sea were unsuited to any other form of farming.



Today the country is enjoying a real renaissance, a direct result of the independence won just over 25 years ago (on 21 June 1991). It has allowed a young, dynamic generation of winegrowers to emerge, firmly resolved to revive a thousand-year-old tradition that was under threat. As in France, wines are strictly labelled according to their origin. There are some 300 official wine regions, generally divided into coastal and inland wines. Most wines are white and are produced inland, while red wines are produced along the coast.


Although there are hundreds of grape varieties in Croatia, experts agree that the red Plavac Mali grape produces the best red wine. Plavac Mali is a genetic descendant of Zinfandel, a grape that clearly originates from Croatia and not from Italy, as was long believed. Croatia's sweet Prošek wine is made notably from the white Bogdanuša grape. Istrian Malvazija and Pošip from Korčula produce Croatia's most renowned white wines.
