Kadum Wines
Buiči, Croatia (Istria)
The Kadum family story is a long one. They have produced wine for generations in Istrian vineyards just a few miles from the Adriatic Sea. In 2019, Ivan fully took over the vineyards and winemaking, launching the family name into the spotlight. Almost immediately, his wines began receiving high praise.
Today, the family farms six hectares of vines and two hectares of olives, all worked to organic standards on the iron-red soils of western Istria, a short walk from the Adriatic. The focus is Malvazija Istarska, made in several styles—including oak-aged, amphora-aged, and sparkling—but the belle of the ball is always their fresh Malvazija, which won the championship title at Vinistra, Istria’s top wine competition. The family also grows Refošk, Teran, Merlot, and Cabernet.
