Golden yellow in color, this Slovenian wine made from the Ribolla Gialla grape shows pretty apple and pear notes, but a distinctly savory profile as well, with hints of smoke, toasted hazelnut skins and oxidization.

The Fruliano grape does not usually give off fragrant or intense aromas, but it does offer density and structure in the mouth. This interpretation lives up to that reputation and offers crisp acidity, stone fruit and mineral flavors on the close.

Creamy and generous with notes of soft vanilla and stone fruit, this Chardonnay-Sauvignon blend has a beautifully aromatic nose and a light, compact texture in the mouth. Pair it with lightly fried seafood or fritto misto.

This is a clean and compact Sauvignon (in a screwcap bottle) with floral-like aromas of white flower, honeysuckle and jasmine backed by sweet exotic fruit. The wine is thin and compact in the mouth with a tart citrusy finish.

Offers amazing intensity and layered aromas of honey, candied orange, caramel and butterscotch. The wine also delivers an interesting combination of sweet fruit flavors and a bitter almond close.

Big bouquets of jasmine blossoms perfume this pretty white Malvasia from Croatia. It’s a bit soft on entry with persistent florals that verge on the confected, but its an easygoing, medium-bodied wine for casual entertaining.

This is a slightly disjointed wine in terms of its aromas, with notes of rubber and pine nut over a smoky and mineral-driven finish. It has a screwcap closure and is restrained and lacks concentration.

This floral wine is bursting with notes of jasmine and honeysuckle backed by sweet fragrances of candied fruit and caramel. The wine is sweet and thick in the mouth but the well-dosed acidity keeps it from being cloying or too fat. It would pair well with slightly sweet foods such as honey glazed ham or lobster.

I get straw and apricot on the bouquet. Medium bodied and smooth, with a lot of acidity on the finish.

Love the grassy citrus nose, which reminds me of an NZ sauvignon blanc. I like the acidity, nicely balanced. A refreshing wine, great for the warm summer months.
