2018 Batič Malvazija Selekcija

Notes & Pairings

We have a difficult time saying no to aromatic grapes with a little skin maceration and aging. Malvazija already has a relatively thin skin and very little tannins to speak of. In concert with biodynamic farming which allowed for longer time on the vine (more disease resistant), the 2018 spent 45 days on the skins in 36 hectoliter oak barrels. Despite this length of skin time, it’s not overtly tannic or drying, but instead gets rounded, juicy and the aromatics are there, but not blowing everything out of balance. Miha barely considers it a macerated wine, but rather a Malvazija with more of a “mouthful.”
