Movia 2023 Rebula (Arrives 11/17)

A clean and balanced expression of Rebula (Ribolla) from Brda in Slovenia, on the border with Friuli. The Movia vineyards are so close in fact that one side of a vineyard parcel is the actual border between Slovenia and Italy! Here, where the foothills of the Alps meet the Mediterranean, a unique mix of marn (from what was a larger ocean bed) and sandstone along with limestone along with a rare microclimate with a large diurnal shift create the perfect setting for wines with mineral intensity. Aging is in large Slavonian barrels (1000-1500L) for 8 months and then 1 year in concrete. A great introduction to the white wines of the Movia estate. -EL
