Community Tasting Notes 1

  September 4, 2011 - Malvasia (Malvasija as it is spelled in Croatia where this wine comes from) might not be the sexiest white grape in the world but given the nauseating homogeny of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc I have been seeking out less popular white wine varietals and was glad to discover this wine during a recent holiday in Dubrovnik. The specific grape here is Malvasija Dubrovka (from vineyards near Dubrovnik) as opposed to Malvasija Istria, which is from further up the coast.
  
  Pale golden colour, zesty aromas and an intense clean palate that has just the slightest touch of sweetness. Refreshing, pleasing, highly quaffable and a wonderful accompaniment to seafood. Even better when that seafood is being served overlooking the beautiful Adriatic Sea. Take a plunge. It is different and it might challenge the taste buds but at least it won't bore them to death by being just another generic Chardonnay or SauvBlanc.
