Rodica Yellow Muscat 2021 Review

In Slovenian Istria, overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, the Rodica family farms 37 acres of native varieties like Refosco and Malvasia along with some international grapes like Pinot Gris. They've been certified organic since the early aughts, but have been paying attention to the nature of their land since Marinko Rodica started the winery in the late ‘90s, planting vines on land that had been abandoned for half a century. This dessert wine made with Yellow Muscat (Known as Rumeni Muskat in Slovenia) shows their attention to their land. The nose has notes of saline and honey with invigorating hints of potpourri. The palate is busting with peaches, with subtle flecks of pepper. The sweetness is there, but it's extremely well-balanced.
