Winery Vipava Malvazija Lanthieri

The soils in the region of Schloss Vipava in Slovenia play a crucial role in wine production. The clay-rich soils of these sun-drenched hills provide optimal conditions for growing grapevines. The diverse soil composition, combined with the Mediterranean influence, results in wines with unique minerality and terroir expression. These soils, along with the traditional winemaking practices of the estate, contribute to the characteristic freshness and expressive quality of Schloss Vipava's wines.

Malvazija is an indigenous variety in Vipava, mentioned by Matija Vertovec in Vinoreja (1844). The moderately growing vines develop higher sugar content by mid-September. This aromatic variety is well-suited for a shorter cold maceration and a six-month aging process. Malvasia Lanthieri is characterized by a pleasant floral aroma, a soft and mineral taste, and a long, authentic finish. It pairs classically with fish or seafood risotto but also complements creamy soups and grilled white meats.
