Movia, 'White Label' Rebula, Ribolla, Primorska, Slovenia, 2022

Overview of the Wine
We believe that wine is the second most important drink that a person consumes. That is why our work is honorable and, above all, very responsible. We are aware that the taste that nature itself can give to us is always better than the one with human interventions. Movia dates back to early 18th century and Kristančič family takes care of the estate since 1820. Today Movia extends over 30 hectares, 25 of which are vineyards spreading over both Slovenian-Goriška Brda region and Italian side, Collio.

In Movia, we don’t separate private from business, because for us every moment can be both; family and business-like at once. Our mission-wine making, is closely connected to us and our way of life.
Our everyday is adapted to wine and time, which remains for life. Of course this is not a problem for us, because wine is a big part of who we are.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Crystalline golden yellow color with a dense texture that quickly settles in the glass.

The bouquet is intense and expresses a rich intertwining of fruitiness with herbs. We perceive yellow apple, quince, ripe pear, and red grapefruit. Gentle hints of vanilla are intertwined with aromas of sage and thyme. The spectrum is rounded off by a pleasant scent of heated marl.

The wine is soft and feels warmer. The taste is balanced by minerality and youthful freshness, and we also sense a tannic grip. It is a wine of intensity, elegance, and full body. Its long-lasting aftertaste offers perceptions of quince, citrus, sweet spices, and herbs.

A harmonious wine that will display its trump cards as it matures, and above all, freshness and alcohol will keep it alive for a long time.

A wine, which can be served with pasta or potato dumplings with creamy sauces, will go well with salmon or sea bass fillet with Provencal potatoes and sauteed young vegetables.
 
92 Points - James Suckling
An intense and rich ribolla with almonds, sage, mint and ripe, concentrated yellow fruit on the nose. Firm on the palate, with tight tannins, crisp acidity and a medium body. The finish is balanced yet slightly austere. Drink or hold.
