Product details
The Malvasia is a round, harmonious wine with dominant fruit aromas of apple, peach, and apricot, as well as hints of acacia flowers and almonds. It has a medium acidity and a wonderfully fruity palate. Carefully harvested with a lot of hard work and selection throughout the year, fully ripe grapes are harvested in autumn, macerated for 2-3 days, and then fermented for 6 months in stainless steel tanks. Minimal intervention is used to produce the wine in its natural state. No sulfites or any additives have been used throughout the year, instead active batonnage (stirring of the lees) is carried out. After malolactic fermentation and some aging, the wine is bottled unfiltered with a minimal amount of sulfites. Its approachable and versatile taste makes it an unforgettable experience for any wine lover. |
Recommended Enjoyment Moments |
The wine pairs perfectly with summer dishes such as grilled fish fillets, oysters, risotto, and pasta. The ideal serving temperature is around 15°C, as this is when the wine will reveal its full potential. Using large wine glasses will enhance the drinking experience even more. Malvasia is the perfect choice for special occasions or an elegant dinner. For optimal storage of Cultus Malvasia, a cool, dark place, preferably a wine cellar, is recommended. With a constant temperature and appropriate humidity, this wine can continue to develop its flavor profile over the years. Once opened, the wine can be enjoyed within a few days. Decanting before serving will further intensify the flavor experience. |
A historic small winery with ecological values: Cultus Winery |
The organic farm of Cultus is surrounded by a stone wall in the small village of Podraga in Primorska. The village, located at the beginning of the Vipava Valley, is a historic wine village mentioned by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor (a Slovenian polymath & topographer). It is difficult to determine how far back the art of winemaking on the current estate dates. Considering the earliest recorded date, its origins can be traced back to 1683. Matej has been a farmer since childhood. Once a traditional mixed farm, it is now his key to producing and living with ecological wine. Starting in 2023, the vineyards will have an organic certification with the European organic label. This certification ensures that the grapes used in wine production are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, mineral fertilizers, and herbicides. Biomass is used as fertilizer. The vineyards are surrounded by diverse greenery such as trees and shrubs where insects can live, breed, and feed. Additionally, there are numerous "insect hotels" in the vineyards. A small area (4 ha) of family-owned vineyards is cultivated. The organic vineyards are part of the dynamic landscape and are located on various plots around the village. The vineyards are planted with the white, indigenous varieties Zelen and Pinela. Additionally, there are Istrian Malvasia, Italian Riesling (Welschriesling), and the red varieties Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah. The level of mechanization is low – most of the work in the vineyards is done manually, as in the past. |
