Clai Sv. Jakov 2009

Clai Sv. Jakov Malvazija 2009 – another stunning ‘alternative’ white wine from Croatia. Skin contact and limestone terroir give a wine of astounding depth of flavour.

Roxanich: incredible complexity

Roxanich: a very individual project and some incredibly good wines from Croatia’s Istria.

Bruno Trapan: rising star

I’m in Croatia again. Visiting Bruno Trapan, one of the country’s undisputed stars after just 5 vintages of making wine. His 2010 Malvazija is an electrifying bottle.

Exciting Croatia (5): best of the rest

In the last article of my series on Croatia, my best hits out of 200 tasted at the Zagreb Vino wine salon: Plavac and Babić from Dalmatia and a stunning skin-contact Malvazija from Istria.
