Meet the Roxanich Winery in Barcelona at Vella Terra fair and experience the natural wine selection from the best international wineries.
Roxanich will present its reinvented brand and sample tastings exclusively for the visitors of the “Vella Terra", international natural wine fair, from 2nd-3rd April 2022, from 1pm-8pm in the Estación del Norte in Barcelona.
Roxanich will present 8 wines- Lara 1/6, Petra 2/6, Sara 3/6, Zara 5/6, Tara 6/6, Montona, Portorose, Superistrian.
The Roxanich Montona is our full-hearted welcome to the worlds of the Malvasia Istriana grape and macerated white wines. Unlike many of the “fresh style” Malvasia Istriana, Roxanich`s interpretation is more a wine alike, profound and arguably authentic expression of the classic Malvasia Istriana.
Fresh and macerated from a few hours to a few days, subject to vintage, the Roxanich Montona offers intense and seductive aromas, a superb fruity concentration, and yet is well-balanced with subtle acidity. On the nose come wafts of acacia blossoms, beeswax, chamomile and dried fruits.
An elegant rosé for all seasons, the Roxanich Portorose is made out of the indigenous grape variety Borgonja Istriana.
The Roxanich Portorose is an entirely innovative expression of a rosé, giving its best to a distinctive gourmet palate, with an intense bright color illustrating nuances of rosehip, hibiscus and pomegranate. The wine offers intense and structured sips of an elegantly bodied variety of spicy and earthly aromas. One recalls notes of fresh raspberries, cranberries, strawberries with a hint of lavender.
The Roxanich Lara 1/6 is not a wine for conventional minds - it’s a pioneer of long macerated, natural orange wines - made by macerating the grape variety Malvasia Istriana.
The ageing process in large old vats or giaras can sometimes last up to ten years. This minimal intervention approach to winemaking ensures a gorgeous, amber hued wine, non-clarified and non-stabilized. As result, restless energy and rich, golden amber colors are bursting from the glass. Gloriously raw, the Roxanich Lara 1/6 is an intense, full bodied dry wine, which is nicely balanced by fresh acidity. Aromas are complemented by rich and intense flavors on the palate - dried fig, almond milk, a touch of honey and Mediterranean bush tones. The mouth-feel of this wine is velvety, with light, soft tannins adding to its texture and elegant body.
Another unique, long-macerated, orange Chardonnay - another of Mladen’s atypical interpretations of the classic.
The result is the Roxanich Sara 3/6, a wine transgressing from gold into an orange that is almost phosphorescent. In the first instance, one could feel flattered by very old burgundy Chardonnays, or perhaps those oxidatively created Chardonnays in the style of wines from Jura. Surprisingly, nothing of that features in our wine.
A single taste explodes with freshness, citrus and minerality, with an unexpected directness, all riding a generous and full body. Rich, elegantly tannic and with a viscous texture, the Roxanich Sara 3/6 hits hard from the first sip and leaves with a long, nutty aftertaste.
The Roxanich Zara 5/6 is a complex and intricately-layered wine that continues to change and evolve over the course of the evening: a field blend of not less than seven grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Vermentino, Glera, Friulano and Riesling Italico.
The Roxanich Zara 5/6 retains the original fruitiness of the grape, but pleasantly surprises the palate with some hearty richness of secondary aromas, as result of up to 90 days contact with original tannins extracted out of the skin and pips of the grapes. The wine is bottled without clarification or stabilization, after up to nine years of careful ageing in wooden vats, barrels and giaras.
Mladen Rožanić’s persistent wish to combine the hitherto incompatible varieties from the two largest Croatian peninsulas, Istria and Pelješac, resulted in the Roxanich Petra 2/6 wine. It embodies very much his idea of “different but alike”. The two most popular Croatian red varieties, the Plavac Mali grapes from the location of Dingač and the ancient Istrian grape of Teran, are blended together in one wine for the first time in history.
This rich red wine reflects the full character of Petra Rožanić, our family artist (who, though too modest to say so herself, also painted the new Roxanich wine labels).
The Roxanich Tara 6/6 presents itself with exceptional clarity in the glass: an impressive red color with a brownish rim. The wine glorifies the spontaneity of childhood, leaving nobody indifferent.
Our artisanal red field blend made from Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Lambrusco, Barbera, Borgonja and Malvasia Nera, dedicated to Tara Rožanić, the youngest sister of six.
Bottled without filtration after up to nine years of ageing in large wooden vats, giaras and barrels, the Roxanich Tara 6/6 is a gentle wine with a supreme balance of acids, tannins and alcohol.
