Reviews and Ratings

Paula Bernardino rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

This was my weekend wine pick: an interesting unusual and complex white wine from Croatia. Located in the northwest of Istria, Clai Wines is the focus of Giorgio Clai’s work to make organic wines from native Croatian grapes. Made with 100% Malvazija, it has an intense golden yellow colour in the glass with aromas and flavours of honey and apricots, and a soft hint of vanilla. Paired well with Italian arancini and meetballs. 14% alcohol. Fun creative label. Available at the LCBO (LCBO#: 770511) at $34.85.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
