Kabola Malvazija Amfora

Intriguing Croatian. Fermented with the peels in amphorae, in the Georgian way, i.e. underground. Then matured in oak. Pressed from organically grown Malvasia grapes from Istria. Was chosen as the best wine from this region by the British wine magazine Decanter in 2023. Scored 96 out of 100 points. "Intriguing and inviting nose with lemon pith, quince and meadowsweet. Lovely fruit - white peach, lemon barley water and chestnut honey. Vibrant with a stoney, sapid finish. So impressive."

We don't have any like that much to add. Except that meadowsweet turns out to be 'meadowsweet'. According to Wikipedia, a perennial plant from the rose family. With cream-colored, 0.4 to 1 cm wide flowers with five petals, which have a strong almond scent. We learn something new every time...
