Medea Winery works with more than 50 ha around Pula and Medulin towards the south of Is- tria. Indigenous grapevarieties, especially Malvazija are a key focus, both in a fresh and fruity style and as the more complex, old-vineyard selection Montiron. Medea’s most notable vineyard is Punta Greca, Istria’s southernmost vineyard, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. There, the combination of mild Mediterranean climate and the unique soil composition – layers of clay, red soil, sand, volcanic ash, flint and iron oxide, overlying limestone just 1 metre below shapes the remarkable character of one of the world’s best Merlots.
