Franc Arman Chardonay 2024

A varietal and elegant wine aged for one year in large oak barrels. It exhibits a vivid dark ruby-red colour. The aroma rests on dark fruit interwoven with nuances of aromatic herbs. The taste is finely dry and lively, rounded off by a gently bitter finish. Recommended with various meat dishes.

This distinctive wine is matured using the traditional ageing method. After maceration and fermentation on its own yeasts, Malvazija Classic ages for 9 months in wooden barrels. It displays an intense straw-yellow colour. The aroma is finely expressed, with notes of fruit, flowers and spice overlaid with vanilla. The palate is dry, saline, soft and rounded, with a fine bitter finish. Ideally served with fish dishes, seafood and pasta.

A naturally sparkling wine produced by the Charmat method, Brut, 12.5% vol. alcohol. Rich effervescence and a multitude of fine bubbles rising to the surface tease the senses and invite tasting. Thanks to secondary fermentation in tank, the characteristic aroma of Istrian Malvasia dominates, recalling citrus and acacia blossom. On the palate it is fresh and lively, yet at the same time full of flavour — unpretentious, but capable of satisfying even the most demanding palate.

This grape variety, also known worldwide as Rundler or Burgunder, delivers excellent quality on the Narduči sites. The wine is yellow in colour with a reddish sheen. It has a fresh fruity aroma with a pleasant hint of dandelion. The taste is varietal, very harmonious and persistent. Best paired with fish dishes, seafood and pasta.

Teran Barrique wine is made from hand-picked grapes that are optimal for tasting when they reach the necessary maturity, which is why we have locked each bottle in specially designed boxes. After aging for 12 months in a wooden barrel five meters underground, this wine needs an additional three months to mature in the bottle. Therefore, the box it is in unlocks after 90 days with the help of an app and a QR code, and during that waiting period, the app sends the wine lover messages with interesting facts from the world of enology and the history of our winery. After three months, the box owner receives a code to unlock it, and the bottle bears the message “Time for your time.” The unlocked treasure is within reach – ruby red wine, with noble aromas and mature taste with recognizable characteristics of forest fruits and a mild hint of vanilla that perfectly pairs with meat dishes, game, prosciutto, and cheese, as well as various dishes with truffles.

Le Divine is a unique blend of 60% Sauvignon and 40% Istrian Malvasia. This powerful and rich wine came to be almost by accident, when a surplus of Sauvignon was left in the cellar in 2020. The wine aged for six months in wooden barrels and then a further year in the bottle. Le Divine enchants with its minerality and a subtle touch of oak, while its gentle aroma reveals notes of grapefruit, lime and vineyard peach. Its harmonious body is not overpowering but glides elegantly down the palate, offering a refined wine experience. It is bottled in 1.5-litre bottles, symbolising the monumentality of the Pula Arena, which also appears on the label designed by Studio Tumpić&Prenc. The label is inspired by an Istrian legend about fairy builders – powerful beings who, by night, stacked stones from Učka to build the magnificent structure. When the first rooster crowed, the fairies had to leave, leaving the Arena unfinished. Later they reached Vižinada and helped build the picturesque village of Narduči

Franc Arman Merlot Superior matures partly in large oak barrels and partly in barrique casks. It is characterised by a deep dark-red colour. This atypically styled wine is full and robust, yet still pleasantly drinkable, marked by aromas of ripe cherry and raspberry with a chocolate-and-spice aftertaste. Discreet oak notes intertwine gently with the fruit aromatics, contributing to the wine’s superior overall impression.

A wine with a pronounced yet elegant and non-aggressive aroma. The nose is dominated by characteristic herbal-fruity notes, while the palate reveals tropical fruit — mango, passion fruit and citrus — with a herbal finish. This fresh, medium-bodied wine pairs ideally with noble cheeses, fish dishes and shellfish.

Kopjar Blanc de Blancs is made from organically grown Chardonnay using the traditional method of second fermentation in the bottle.
