2018 Malvazija "Reserve"
About this wine
It is hard not to love both orange wine and the variety Malvazija.
Frank Vodopivec and the wife Alenka always harvest the grapes for the macerated wines later than the grapes for the non-macerated wines. Three weeks of maceration, aged in old wood and bottled without filtration and only with a dash of added sulphites.
The wine is complex, balanced and aromatic like in really aromatic. Imagine walking in a huge flower field. There you go. And most of all with a brilliant acidity to the honey-ish orange peel texture.
