KOZLOVIC MALVAZIJA 2024, Croatia

Perfect with grilled seafood — the minerality cut through the oil beautifully. That indigenous Istrian grape really comes through in the clean, herbaceous finish. Already planning to grab another bottle for next weekend.

Opened this on a warm evening and the 2024 vintage feels exactly like Istria in a glass—light, aromatic, and true to the indigenous Malvazija grape. It’s got that gentle citrus finish that makes you want another pour before dinner even starts.

This bottle has that lovely light body and a subtle herbaceous note that makes it perfect for sipping on a warm evening. The finish is clean and surprisingly long.
