Clai Sveti Jakov 2018
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Malvasia from Istria, Croatia. The fruit coems from 50 year old vines growing in a single 42 year old vineyard on the hill of the same name just south of the town of Buje, planted on rocky clay soils
It is bottled only in the winery's best years
Taste Profile: Golden yellow in color, it has notes of acacia flowers, dried hay straw, fig and honey. The wine is slightly tannic, has a nice silky texture on the tongue, with powerful flavor and body. Exploding mouthwatering minerality improves further the balance and makes the finish moderately long, clean and delicious
Winemaking Process: The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed, and gravity fed with their skins into large wooden vats for spontaneous fermentation using only the naturally present local yeasts. The grapes are macerated on their skins for close to three months at 22 to 25 degrees Celsius. Pigeage, the breaking of the solid must cap, is done at least three times a day. The wine also undergoes malo-lactic fermentation. After gentle pneumatic pressing it is aged for two years in old large (1000 and 2500 liters) oak bottle

Clai Wines
Lying in Istria close to the Slovenian & Italian border, Giorgio Clai focuses mostly on native grape varietals in Austria, and believe that no year is "good" or "bad" if you work in a natural way - the vintages are just different
