Malvazija Istarska is a high quality white grape variety found on the Istrian peninsula. In Croatia it is the second most planted white grape variety after Graševina. It is also very common in neighbouring Friuli-Venezia-Giulia where it goes by the Italian name of Malvasia Istriana. It is capable of producing exceptional wines full of flavour, freshness and minerality.
Kozlović Winery is one of the most recognised producers in Croatia. Based in the Momjan Valley in Western Istria, they make two very notable wines in the white ‘Akacia’ and the red ‘Santa Lucia Noir’.
