Malverina is a Czech white grape that produces rich, spicy wines with a distinctive aroma of cinnamon and lavender. Malverina is relatively unknown. It's not grown outside the Czech Republic, and you're unlikely to find it on the shelves of Dutch liquor stores.
In the 1960s, the Czechs enthusiastically experimented with breeding new grape varieties. The white Malverina is the successful result of their search for a grape resistant to typical grape diseases like powdery mildew. Therefore, Malverina is often—and this will come as no surprise—grown organically.
For the curious: they finally succeeded by crossing Villard Blanc with Roter Veltliner, and then crossing that with a cross of Merlot and Seibel 13666. Anyone who already knows everything will understand that we are dealing with a so-called hybrid grape.
