The 2016 vintage is known for its maturity and depth, allowing you to experience a nuanced profile that speaks directly to its terroir. The terroir of Istria, located in the northwestern part of Croatia, is characterized by its rolling limestone hills and proximity to the Adriatic Sea, which impart a unique minerality and freshness to the wines. The region benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters, providing ideal conditions for vine cultivation.

The region's dedication to sustainability and organic practices shines through in the wine’s purity and expressive nature.

To enhance your enjoyment of the Kabola Cuvée Supremo, consider pairing it with a selection of dishes that complement its rich texture and complex flavours. This wine could pair beautifully with hearty local dishes such as Istrian stew, made with beef, game, or veal, simmered slowly with vegetables and spices. For a taste of the sea, try it alongside grilled Adriatic fish or octopus with a touch of olive oil and garlic. Cheeses such as aged pecorino or truffle-infused varieties can also elevate the wine’s depth.

For the most enjoyable experience, serve the Kabola Cuvée Supremo at a temperature of 16-18°C. This ensures that the wine's intricate aromas and flavours unfold fully, providing a delightful and rewarding tasting experience.
