Čotar 2020 Kras Bianco Malvazija

Malvasia is one of those grapes that is full of character when its fermented on the skins. There are so many golden fruit notes that appear along with a grassy, zesty florality (very different from Moscato) and deep saltiness. When grown on limestone soils with a minimal hand in the cellar like this one from Branko and Vasja Cotar, magic can happen.

Maceration on the skins for four to ten days. Natural fermentation then aging on the lees in 225 to 2000 liter barrels. Aged for two to three years.
