Saints Hills Mala Nevina 2025 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled. One of the youngest wineries on Croatia’s Peljesac peninsula, Saints Hills was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in an ancient stone house a little off the beaten track. It’s very much a family-run estate with various relatives involved in everything from preparing exquisite food for their guests to conducting tours of the winery. Mala Nevina is their exquisite white wine crafted from Istrian Malvasia and Chardonnay sourced from the estate’s St. Ante vineyards located close to the village of Radovani in Istria. These vineyards are planted on the western hillsides of the peninsula with strictly limited yields. The terroir here is ideal for making fresh and characterful white wines thanks to the cooling sea breezes and long sunny summer days which help the grapes achieve a fine balance between acidity and ripe fruit flavours. Exotic tropical fruit, almond blossom and hints of the salty sea characterise the nose, while the palate offers a mouthwatering freshness, plenty of ripe fruit flavours, and a pure, clean finish. Elegant and easy to drink, this is a great white to offer as an aperitif or partner to fresh seafood, leafy salads, grilled fish, or even sushi.
