Established in 1902, Blato is the largest cooperative on the Island of Korčula with access to the best fruits available. Blato still employs traditional winemaking techniques such as long skins macerations for whites and reds and ageing in large Slavonian Oak barrels. They also ferment their white wines in stainless steel vats and handle them using a reductive method to preserve primary fruit characteristics.
Grapes and wine are integral part of the celebration of life for Korčula’s inhabitants. Since as far back as 1427, the 'Statute of the islands', the oldest code in that part of Europe, has regulated the cultivation of vines, wine production and trade on the island. Wines from the island of Korčula were exported to Venice and served regularly at the tables of the Viennese court. The climate is typically Mediterranean, although more humid and slightly cooler than Pelješac. Plavac Mali and Pošip grapes are the most prominent and popular varieties of the region.

Western Istrian wine region, Buje area, grapes of higher structure from selected vineyards. This 100% Istrian Malvasia is produced using the method of quick processing, no skin-contact, fermented and aged for 12 months on fine lees in French troncais/ allier oak barrels. The sediment is periodically stirred until the end of winter. The wine is aged in previously used barrels, with a yearly rotation of 20% of new ones. Style-wise, Alba’s elegance gives way to strength and complexity of Alba Barrique. Malvasia’s standard aromatic profile is given new life with oak-influenced aromas of vanilla and caramel. Overall, Alba Barrique is a highly structured wine of pronounced longevity. In best vintages, it reaches its maximum after two to five years. This wine pairs particularly well with seafood, fish – on the grill or stewed, as well as with food from the oven or food with pronounced spiciness.
It is a typical powerful Istrian wine of distinguished character, a regular international award-winner.
2016 Matosevic Alba Robinia Barrique Malvasia...$15.99
Western Istrian wine region, Buje area, grapes of stronger structure, reduced yields, from selected positions. Alba Robinia is 100% Istrian Malvasia, made using the method of quick grape processing, no skincontact as a rule of thumb, fermented and aged 12 months on sediment in Istrian acacia barrels. Sediment is periodically stirred until the end of winter. This wine demands longer ageing, thus it is market-ready two years later than Malvasias aged in French oak, usually aft er four years. It is characterised by intensive and untypical aromas of honey, smoke and sometimes bacon (if new barrels are used). It seems that using acacia barrels we could extend Malvasia’s longevity. Due to its pronounced character and full body, this wine is mostly aimed at gastronomy. It is recommended to pair it with Istrian prosciutto, cheeses, as well as with dishes that are usually paired with light-bodied red wines.
Robinia is an untypical Istrian wine of distinguished character.

A fresh wine by type, abundant fruit on the nose with some floral overtones, warm on the palate, finely rounded, harmonious, with solid body. Beautiful glowing crystal colour of yellow straw, considerably intense aroma hinting fresh apples and some vineyard peaches, also suggesting some bright field flowers. Taste is vibrant with good acidity finishing with pleasant mild bitterness specific to the wine variety.
