Tasting Notes
The Vina Kozlovic Istria Teran 2023 offers an expressive and vibrant experience, capturing the essence of Croatia's famed Istrian terroir. This medium-bodied red wine delivers complex aromas of fresh raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry, balanced with subtle hints of pepper and herbaceous notes. The silky tannins add a smooth texture to the wine, making it an elegant choice for wine enthusiasts. A beautifully crafted wine, it showcases the intense fruitiness of Teran grapes, fermented with precision and matured for eight months in 30-hectolitre wooden barrels, resulting in a harmonious, bright finish.
Winemaking Process
The grapes for this wine are carefully handpicked and sorted, ensuring only the finest fruit is used in the fermentation process. The Teran grapes undergo a 10-day maceration, followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit’s freshness. After fermentation, the wine is aged in wooden barrels, which enhance its depth and structure, creating a well-rounded and sophisticated final product.
Food Pairing
This versatile red wine pairs excellently with a wide range of dishes, including grilled meats, barbecues, pasta with rich sauces, and mature cheeses. Its bright fruit profile also complements Mediterranean and Istrian cuisine, making it a perfect match for local dishes like truffle pasta or grilled fish.
