Benvenuti Teran (2016)

One of the key Croatian red varieties, and the most important Istrian red variety, Teran holds a special place in our wine history. This wine comes from the vineyards in Španjole, at 300 metres above sea.

Fresh and complex at once, Teran has a harmonious structure and acidity that provides for lots of ageing potential. Teran 2013, made in 6.000 bottles, was aged in oak for 24 months, following a 20-day maceration.

This Wine was voted at Decanter with Platinum award getting 95 points!!!

The story of the Benvenuti winery is a story of family, tradition and terroir. Situated in the quiet Istrian village of Kaldir, overlooking nearby Motovun, where they grow three grape varieties - Malvasia Istriana, Teran and Muscat. Throughout history, these varieties have been giving the best results in Istria.

Family values and tradition are the key "condiments" of Benvenuti wines. They are the foundation upon which they produce wines which in their grape variety reflect the abundance of vineyards, located on several specific micro-locations. One of these, San Salvatore, is the heart of their varieties. The terraced configuration and the white soil, along with the micro-climate, give the grapes character which translates to very mineral, fresh wines, fully expressive of the characteristics of the varieties.

The results of their focus on micro-locations and indigenous varieties - along with honest, hard work - are wines that are recognised by consumers, critics and peers alike.
