The white, Malvazija (malmsey) from centuries old vineyards, is a yellowing to golden color and has a scent of locust blossoms. It goes well with seafood.

Red wine of Teran, the wine of choice for Casanova (who spent summers in Vrsar) has a full and fruity flavor and is fantastic with meat.

Muskat has a golden color, a floral scent, and is very dry and sweet and is rumored to be an aphrodesiac.
