MOVIA Rebula Black Label 2023 organic wine

The Queen of Brda - Rebula orange wine

The indigenous Rebula variety with its minerality is a kind of reflection and the pride of the Brda wine region. It has been grown here since at least the 13th century. The Rebula vines of the Movia winery are harvested late and after a maximum of 2 hours are transferred directly to fermentation. This takes place with the wine's own yeasts. The main maturation of the Slovenian natural wine takes place over 8 months, 90% in 500L oak barrels and 10% in stainless steel tanks, where it gains its strength and harmony. It is bottled unsulphured and unfiltered.

The name Ribolla (Italian) is derived from "ribollire", which means "to boil". The Bora wind in the littoral cooled the cellars before the sugar-rich wine must could ferment completely and stopped the fermentation, only for the wine to "boil again" in the spring.

The Movia Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) has an inviting golden to amber color that testifies to prolonged skin contact. The nose is surprisingly rich for a Rebula, with apple, peach and yellow plum notes coming to the fore. There are also aromas of orange peel and lemon, almond blossom and floral rose notes. We also detect gentle notes of vanilla, anise and rosemary. The Rebula is wonderfully dry, with a hint of tannins and a salty-spicy character and lots of life.

It is already excellent now, but will be for at least 10 years to come. Try this regional grape variety of Slovenia and immerse yourself in its magic.
