Skin-Contact White Wine, Carso, Slovenia

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Description
Marko Fon Malvazija 2022 is a pure, vibrant interpretation of Malvazija Istriana, crafted by one of Slovenia’s most respected natural vignerons. Made with minimal intervention, skin maceration, and long ageing in limestone-carved cellars, this wine is an authentic expression of the Carso terroir.

Amber-golden in colour, it offers aromas of orange peel, chamomile, dried quince, apricot, and subtle spices. On the palate, it shows a rich, saline texture with elegant tannins and a dry, long, refreshing finish.

A skin-contact white combining depth, character and remarkable gastronomic versatility.
