Our own interpretation of long macerated Malvasia Istriana, named for Mladen’s first daughter, is here to raise awareness for honest and natural winemaking. The ageing process in large old vats or giaras can sometimes last up to ten years. This minimal intervention approach to winemaking ensures a gorgeous, amber hued wine, non-clarified and non-stabilized. As result, restless energy and rich, golden amber colors are bursting from the glass.

Gloriously raw, the Roxanich Lara 1/6 is an intense, full bodied dry wine, which is nicely balanced by fresh acidity. Aromas are complemented by rich and intense flavors on the palate – dried fig, almond milk, a touch of honey and Mediterranean bush tones. The mouth-feel of this wine is velvety, with light, soft tannins adding to its texture and elegant body. The Roxanich Lara 1/6 is brilliant on its own, but even greater with food, featuring the body and the intensity to match structured dishes that would usually be paired with reds. The Roxanich Lara 1/6 is matching oriental spicy plates as well as traditional Japanese raw cuisine surprisingly well.
