DECANTER 2022 WORLD WINE AWARDS SILVER MEDAL & 90 POINTS - "Intense and pungent with grapefruit, gooseberry, and lemon. A well-structured and fresh wine...".
SASHA DEJAYNES, Vinolust.com - "On the palate the wine is vivacious with a pleasingly round midpalate and mouthwatering acidity that balances richer notes of peach and plum.”
Fakin Winery is situated in the foothills of Motovun, Istra (Istria), the peninsula in north-west Croatia that used to belong to Italy. The winery is surrounded by lush sustainably farmed vineyards with altitudes ranging from 330 to 650 feet. The white soil, microclimate and hilly terrain configuration give Fakin's grapes their minerality, freshness and expressive characteristics. Malvazija Istarka (Istriana) is the queen of white grapes in Istria if not all of Croatia. Fakin's 2021 Malvazija displays aromas of white peaches and pears; on the palate the stone fruit flavors lead to the clean, crisp, dry finish.
