Clear, straw yellow with subtle golden highlights.

On the Nose citrus (lemon, lime), stone fruits (white peach), light tropical undertones (pineapple), backed by wet-stone minerality, honey, and subtle herbal accents.

On the Palate medium-bodied with a creamy texture from the Chardonnay component, balanced by the bright, crisp acidity and aromatic lift of the native Malvazija Istarska.

Serving: Best serve at 50°F – 54°F (10°C – 12°C). Avoid serving it over chilled since it will mute the creaminess from the Chardonnay and the complex stone-fruit aromas of the Malvazija.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with Mediterranean cuisine, specifically grilled white fish, octopus salad, creamy pasta, risotto, or mild goat cheeses.

Saints Hills Winery is a family-owned boutique estate based in Croatia. Established in 2006 by Croatian entrepreneur Ernest Tolj and his wife Ivana Tolj. The winemaking is crafted in collaboration with renowned Bordeaux flying winemaker Michel Rolland.

The estate name "Saints Hills" and its individual vineyards are named after saints associated with the couple's children (Sv. Lucia, Sv. Roko, and Sv. Ante). While the main winery/headquarters and red wine vineyards (Plavac Mali) are located in Dalmatia (Pelješac Peninsula and Komarna), Mala Nevina comes from their Sv. Ante vineyard in Radovani, Istria. They focus on minimal intervention, manual harvesting, and low yields. For their whites, they utilize concrete egg-shaped tanks to retain purity, minerality, and texture without overwhelming the native Malvazija grape with heavy wood.

A major portion of the blend is fermented in unlined, egg-shaped concrete tanks. The natural convection currents inside concrete eggs keep the lees (spent yeast cells) suspended continuously without mechanical stirring (bâtonnage), adding creaminess and mouthfeel while preserving natural acidity.

Part of the wine is fermented in large 32-hectoliter wooden vats, giving structural stability without imparting strong oak flavors. Wine is aged for 6 to 9 months on its lees. Only about 10% of the wine sees age in new French oak barriques. This small percentage adds a hint of spice and structural framing without overpowering the aromatic Malvazija. The concrete egg-aged, large-vat-aged, and barrique-aged portions are blended together and rested before bottling, preserving crisp minerality alongside a silky texture.
