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 is a wine made from hand-picked grapes that reaches its optimal tasting moment only after it has achieved the desired maturity, which is why each bottle is sealed in a specially designed box. After ageing for 12 months in wooden barrels five metres underground, the wine requires a further three months of bottle maturation. For this reason, the box is unlocked only after 90 days using an app and a QR code, and during that waiting period the app sends the wine lover messages with insights from the world of oenology and the history of our winery. After three months the owner receives the unlocking code, and the bottle carries the message “Time for your time”. The unlocked treasure is within reach – a ruby-red wine with noble aromas and mature flavour, showing the characteristic notes of forest fruit and a subtle hint of vanilla, pairing perfectly with meat dishes, game, prosciutto and cheese, as well as various truffle dishes.

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.

The wine is crystal clear, deep straw-yellow in colour with a shade of youthful gold. It shows pronounced and refined aromas of yellow apple, iris, and exotic notes of melon, lime and lychee. On the palate it is rounded and soft, almost saline, very extract-rich with a hint of sweetness.

Kopjar Blanc de Blancs is made from organically grown Chardonnay using the traditional method of second fermentation in the bottle. It spent two years ageing on the lees, which gives it elegant creaminess and a complex body with aromas of bread crust and butter. At the same time it shows pronounced fruitiness and minerality, enhancing the freshness and refinement of the sparkling wine.

Named after our family nickname, this wine blends regional wine heritage with Marko's personal journey, who embarked on a winemaking adventure without a family tradition, creating it independently and wholeheartedly. Although both of us, Lara and Marko, collaborate on all In Sylvis wines, Teran Baćun is exclusively Marko’s wine, showcasing both the robust character of the Teran variety and the Baćun family spirit.

Valenta Winery is a newer name on the wine scene, but only when speaking of labels. Wine has been produced in this family for a long time, and a great deal of knowledge and experience is hidden in these bottles. The audience seems to respond very well to what Valter Valenta does, as the wines had one of the shortest paths from anonymity to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best. As Kaldir and the surroundings of Motovun are slowly proving to be a special place for Malvasia and Teran, this small family winery is steadily climbing in the competition for recognition. The Muscat is no exception. What especially distinguishes it is the well-judged sweetness. The wine does not tire the palate, it is very pleasant in the mouth, with very clean and clear Muscat aromas and, although sweet, it manages to remain elegant.

At the top of the hill, right next to the vineyard, there still stands a stone with the cardinal directions carved into it — once believed to mark the very center of the Istrian peninsula. Centrum is a cuvée of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in a fresher, fruit-forward style, produced in stainless steel tanks with a small portion aged in barrique barrels. It pairs beautifully with grilled tuna, squid and pork tenderloin, and with roasted chestnuts it places you in the very heart of Istria, overlooking one of the most spectacular views of the region.

The vineyards lie on the hills around Buje, at 220–250 m above sea level, in the Contarini site. The ideal microclimate allows the grapes to ripen while retaining enough acidity to give the wine fruitiness and balance, while the mineral white soil supports drinkability with its distinct mineral notes. Part of the must undergoes cryomaceration and, after gentle pressing, ferments separately at 14–16 °C. The wine ages on fine lees in stainless steel until spring, when it is bottled.

Filomena is the most awarded wine of our winery. Its name derives from the Greek word Philoumenes, formed from phileo meaning love and menos meaning strength. When you taste it, we believe you will understand why this wine truly deserves its name. The Istrian Malvasia grapes are hand-harvested at full ripeness, macerated for 36 hours and vinified partly in acacia and oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks. After one year of ageing in wood, the wine is further matured in the bottle for another year. This gives the wine fullness and strength while developing its aromatic profile with excellent freshness. Outstanding ageing potential.
