Croatia's most celebrated wine peninsula producing indigenous Malvazija Istarska whites and Teran reds on red terra rossa soils above the Adriatic. Malvazija Istarska — distinct from Italian Malvasia varieties — produces aromatic, textured whites of genuine complexity with almond, stone fruit, and Adriatic salinity. Teran, the indigenous red grape on iron-rich terra rossa, delivers tannic, earthy reds with high acidity and iron mineral character unique to this limestone plateau.
