Product Notes

Matošević Grimalda Red is a deep, vibrant wine, presented in a rich ruby red colour. Sourced from the renowned vineyards of Istria, Croatia, this fine blend is meticulously crafted from Merlot, Teroldego and Borgonja varieties. On the nose, it reveals sophisticated, robust fruity notes, harmonised with a whiff of subtle spices. On the palate, it presents a balanced fusion of ripe dark fruit flavours and a hint of toasted oak. With its structured tannins and a long, silky smooth finish, Matošević Grimalda Red embodies elegance and depth, making it a perfect accompaniment to a hearty Sunday roast or a luxurious cheese platter.

About the Winery

Matošević

Nestled in the hills of Istria, the Matošević winery is a haven for wine enthusiasts and lovers of tranquil, bucolic scenery alike. Located near the enchanting medieval town of Krunčići, this winery offers an unforgettable foray into the art of Croatian wine-making.

The Matošević vineyard, established in 1996, is renowned for its trailblazing role in the revival of the Istrian Malvazija, a local white grape variety. The founder and winemaker, Ivan Matošević, has masterfully combined traditional viticulture methods with innovative techniques to produce acclaimed wines of exceptional character and quality.

Spanning 12 hectares, the vineyard is carefully curated with dedication and precision. Three distinct vineyards – Grimalda, Alba, and Alba Barrique – produce three unique expressions of Malvazija, each embodying the rich, robust flavours of the local terroir. Matošević winery's commitment to organic practices and sustainable farming ensures that their wines are not only delightful to taste but also environmentally responsible.

Visitors can tour the vineyards and learn about the winemaking process in engaging and informative sessions led by the passionate team. Further enhance your visit with a wine tasting session in their cosy cellar, an experience that deliciously combines the fruit of their labour, the allure of local cheeses and the conviviality of Croatian hospitality.

However, it's not just about the wine. The Matošević winery is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Istrian countryside. The stunning views, rolling hills, and changing seasons provide an ever-changing tableau of natural beauty guaranteed to capture your senses.

A trip to the Matošević winery is more than just a wine tasting, it's an immersive journey through the region's rich viticulture heritage.
