Wangolina Malvasia Istriana 2023
Malvasia Istriana is a truly rare gem in the Australian wine landscape. It's roots lie in the Istrian Peninsula and has been producing high quality wine in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia for centuries. In Australia there are less than 10 producers tackling this varietal. Anita Goode at Wangolina is one of these. Her strong opinion is that this variety requires cool nights, sun-drenched days and a heavy coastal influence. Her incredible vineyard in Mount Benson offers all of these in spades. Whilst the variety is inherently floral with notes of stone fruit and citrus, the heavy marine influence of the vineyard brings this variety much closer to something like high quality Chablis, with oyster shell, salinity and a beautifully lengthy palate.

Picked early to retain that stunning acidity, the fruit is split into two batches, one sees wild fermentation on skins to build texture and extract unique aromatics from the skins and the other is sent to a single large ceramic egg where it builds mid palate weight. These two are blended back to form something truly exceptional.
