Malvasia Blanca

Malvasia Blanca is a catch all name for a range of grapes in the Malvasia family. Malvasia makes some of Europe's most understated white wines from the fortified wines of Madeira, the sweet wines of the Vin Santos of Tuscany and also as a dry white across Portugal and the Languedoc-Roussillon in the south of France. Certain new world countries such as California are producing a few stunning examples of Malvasia Blanca. At their best they are zesty, crisp and refreshing with tropical and peachy flavours galore.
