This weekend we are releasing our Malvasia online and at the cellar door. Let Leeanne take you for a stroll through our Malvasia block, it may be fresh but the vines are looking fabulous! Originating in Croatia, and widely grown throughout northern Italy, this variety is a truly rare alternative wine, with less than 70 Australian estate-grown cases produced for the 2019 vintage. Here’s what Master of Wine Peter Scudamore-Smith has to say about this varietal: “The Italian varietal Malvasia from Northern Italy produced by Ballandean Estate is a delicious crisp Italian-style dry white wine, and textured, set to match the success of the critically-acclaimed Fiano, a fuller wine from the warmer Campania area.”
