Trapan
Trapan produces wines from Istria and Kvarner, a Croatian region where Malvazija Istarska thrives in the limestone-rich soils and Mediterranean climate of the Adriatic coast. The winery's portfolio centers on this indigenous white variety, which expresses itself across multiple expressions. Malvazija Istarska Istraditional represents the core of the range, a wine that has drawn recognition from Falstaff and Wine Advocate. Uroboros and Ponente, also built from Malvazija Istarska, extend the winery's exploration of the grape's mineral and aromatic potential. The variety itself is known for its salinity, stone-fruit character, and ability to age with complexity. Trapan's focus on a single varietal within its region reflects the classical approach of Istrian producers, where Malvazija Istarska has long been the signature expression of place.
