Situated just a mere five kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, Rodica is a family-run winery located in the heart of Slovenian Istria, in the village of Truske. The south-facing vineyards reside at an altitude of 250-350 meters. The vines enjoy significant diurnal temperature swings which, combined with the constant breezes that flow through the vineyards, allow for optimal conditions to slowly ripen the grapes. Rodica Winery specializes in Malvazija, Refošk and Muscat. The vineyards are all certified organic and dry-farmed.
The Rodica Malvazija is made from 100% Malvazija Istriana. All grapes were hand-harvested at high levels of ripeness and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel. After fermentation, 25% of the wine is aged for six months in large acacia barrels, with the rest in stainless steel. After which, the wine is bottled unfiltered. In the glass, the wine pours a brilliant mid-gold, emitting intense aromas of wild flowers and peach. The Rodica Malvazija is textured and round on the palate with balanced acidity and great depth of flavor. The finish is elegant and refreshing. Enjoy with truffle pasta, whole-grilled bronzino or lobster.
