Wine aromas
In the production, quick processing is followed by fermentation and 12-month ageing in French oak barrels, with periodical sediment stirring. Following the ageing in barrels, it is further blended and aged in stainless steel vats and in the bottle. Grimalda White is a terroir wine of pronounced minerality and long finish. Vanilla through which floral notes characteristic of the dominant Chardonnay project. Then fine fruity notes which move from orange peel and a little homemade peach towards, apricot. In the second wave notes of wet grass that and even wet black truffles. The wine is dry, partially warm and almost soft, but on the other hand even pleasantly cool, a bit of tannins are present. Special wine for special occasions.

Wine aromas
White blend of Istrian Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris in an equal ratio. It aged in wooden barrels for 15 months. Istrian Malvasia gives it a regional note, Sauvignon Blanc gives it softness, and Pinot Gris its character. Wine was also macerated with the grape skin, but for a much shorter amount of time than Sv. Jakov. Aromas of lemon curd, acacia blossoms, caramel and Clementine. It's full and rich, almost sherry-like, orange and salty, with a little touch of barrel influence. Gorgeous.

Wine aromas
Reductive – vinuos beginning, introduction to red fruit, floral firecracker that explodes and turns into a dirt beetroot aromatic complexity. In the mouth freshness, grapefruit-raspberry-colored coat is lost in the middle of minerality, long aftertaste. Fruitiness and softness of merlot, strength and sharpness of tannic cabernet sauvignon, cherry and pepper syrah hide behind teran. Freshness, fruitiness raspberry and violet flowers dominates this Rose.
