Description
Filip is Jure Štekar’s line of highest quality wines, small productions, long refinements and highly selected grapes. The results are exceptional wines that stand out in the broad panorama of the splendid wines of the Gorizian Collio (Brda)
Jure Stekar’s Malvazija from the Filip line is certainly one of the flagship wines produced (very few rare bottles) by this small winery; a wine where the sensation of “terroir” is immediately perceptible; very expressive, rich with texture from the fruit and floral components, but balanced with lovely acidity, fresh stone fruit from the tree, and a long driven finish that brings with it some stony minerality.
Malvazija, born in Brda, combines the fruitiness of Istria with the sharpness and freshness of the Karst. Must try.
Vinification
Filip Malvazija is fermented naturally in old French oak barrique and two months skin contacts. 24 month aged in same wood barrel without any clarification or filtering
Pairing
a wine that pairs very well with many dishes; starters or maind dishes of smoked fish, first courses of red fish, stewed white meats.
One of those bottles to keep open in the fridge and sip a glass from before dinner
