Product details
The Butul Malvazija PILJ is an outstanding wine that captures the essence of Istrian wine tradition. With an alcohol content of 13% and a bright orange color, this wine presents a fascinating combination of tradition and innovation. The Malvazija grape, a jewel of Istria, is processed here in a way that delights both connoisseurs and newcomers to the world of wine. |
This wine undergoes a two-week maceration period, which gives it remarkable depth and complexity. Aging in small oak barrels adds a subtle but noticeable woody note that harmonizes with the natural grape flavors. The result is a distinctive flavor profile that includes both fruity and earthy notes. |
In the glass, the Butul Malvazija PILJ reveals a bouquet reminiscent of fresh fruits and a slight floral note, accompanied by a hint of spices and subtle minerality. On the palate, it presents a balanced profile with pleasant acidity that emphasizes the wine's freshness. The texture is rich and almost velvety, with a long-lasting finish that underscores the complexity and elegance of this wine. |
Recommended Enjoyment Moments with Butul Malvazija PILJ |
The Butul Malvazija PILJ is a versatile wine that is perfect for special occasions or as an accompaniment to fine dining. It pairs exceptionally well with fish dishes, meat, and various types of cheeses. Its fruity and earthy notes complement the flavors of grilled fish or a light, spicy chicken dish wonderfully. It also makes an excellent choice for a rich cheese platter with a selection of hard and soft cheeses. |
It is best served at a temperature of 10-12°C to fully experience the range of its flavors. A medium-sized wine glass that captures and concentrates the aromas well is ideal for maximizing this tasting experience. |
The Butul Malvazija PILJ has an impressive aging potential of at least 10 to 15 years. To preserve its quality, it should be stored in a cool, dark place with an ideal storage temperature of 12 to 14°C. It's important to protect the wine from direct sunlight and significant temperature fluctuations. Once opened, the wine should be consumed within a few days to enjoy its freshness and flavor diversity. |
Butul Winery: A Kaleidoscope of Flavors from the Heart of Istria |
The Butul Winery, a picturesque gem in Slovenian Istria near the Adriatic Sea, is a true paradise for wine enthusiasts. Founded by Tatjana and Mitja Butul, who chose a life in harmony with nature, each glass of wine reflects their passion and dedication. The winery benefits from one of Slovenia's sunniest climates, imparting a special depth and minerality to their wines. |
Butul is not just a winery but also an ambassador of the Slow Food movement. Here, traditional Istrian dishes are prepared with fresh, local ingredients, often paired with their exquisite wines. Their son Žrt, an emerging Michelin-starred chef, brings a fresh perspective to the culinary scene. |
Winemaking at Butul is a family tradition spanning four generations. Their wines, aged for at least two years on lees in oak barrels, are known for their richness and intensity. |
A distinctive feature is the traditional extended maceration process, applied to both red and white wines, giving their wines, especially the characteristic orange wines, a unique character. |
The Butul Winery represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, with each wine telling a story and capturing the essence of the Istrian landscape. A visit or a glass of their wine promises an unforgettable experience for all the senses. |
