Malvazija Pivol

Honeyed, herbal, super layered and viscous—not for everyone, but amazing for me

Slovenian skin contact Malvasia. Luscious, perfumed, but the varietal and style don’t quite come together for me.

Amazing Wine ! This is a gorgeous wine . The color is golden yellow . The nose is full of rich , ripe apricots and peaches with a whiff of wild honey and toasted hazel nuts . The wine drinks very much as is on the nose , but with a zest of salinity . This a fruit forward wine that with excellent minerality ! It borders on excellence with this kind of elegance , power and depth . Most surprising is it’s complexity . This makes it extremely unique . Albeit a big wine , the drinkability is very good . I would suggest that it pairs just as beautifully with lobster and crab as it does with a prime , double cut , grilled pork chop ! At $35 -$40 dollars this wine is most definitely a steal . The QPR ( Quality to Price Ratio ) Makes this one of the biggest steals in the wine world today . I love it !
