MOVIA Lunar Sivi Pinot 2018 organic wine

Movia Lunar Sivi Pinot - Wine of the moon

In the case of Movia Lunar, nature, with the help of the moon, does most of what humans would normally do. The most natural and purest wine without added sulphur. Pure nature in a glass.

The Pinot Gris is harvested by hand late in the year in the vineyards of the Movia winery in Brda. Care is taken to ensure that a maximum of 2 hours elapse between harvesting and the start of fermentation. The hand-crushed grapes mature in special new barrique barrels, which have been converted to the Movia method and give the wine more time to follow the phases of the moon. After 7 months of maturing and with gentle stirring by hand, the wine is poured into the bottles at full moon without the addition of sulphur, unfiltered and without mechanical pressure. This very gentle process gives the Lunar its wonderful structure and reflects the close connection of the Orange wine with nature.

Valentin Bufolin (2022 Best Sommelier of Slovenia, Vice President of Slovenian Sommelier Association): ‘A clear, amber-coloured wine with a dense texture that quickly stops swirling in the glass. The bouquet is intense, particularly fruity. We detect aromas of ripe apricot, peach, red apple, yellow fig, grape berries in alcohol, mango and pineapple. Candied orange is joined by notes of dandelion, wild mint and thyme. At the same time, we perceive a light note of dry straw, saffron, liquorice and cloves. We perceive the softness of the wine, which appears dry but gives way to robustness from lively freshness, minerality and accentuated tannins. A wine of intensity and seriousness, long persistence and elegance, looking to its long future. A wine with a harmonious character that challenges with its edge. It reflects the notes of the grapes in the alcohol, which emphasises the maturation of the whole grape in the barrel. These characteristics make it ideal with mushroom risottos, potato dumplings with rabbit or veal ragout, blue fish, baked octopus. For the more daring, the dish must be accompanied by Mavrahi and Pržaljecu.’

Below, we have included a description of the Lunar wines from the winemaker himself.
