The 2009 Malvasia shows a lighter orange color and more floral tones on the bouquet that are very much in line with the variety. Crushed flower, candied fruit, toasted pine nut and dried apricot appear on the bouquet. The mouth-feel is dry, dusty and slightly astringent. Drink: 2014-2019. These are a great set of Orange wines from natural winemaker Damijan Podversic. Importers: Omniwines Distributing, www.omniwines.com; Vinity Wine Company, www.vinitywinecompany.com
