Apricot and dried orange peel, aromatic wood and autumn leaves, on the palate this wine shows gently bitter phenolics and a long, complex finish.

| 100% Ribolla (from 65+ yr old vines)
Rebula (Ribolla) enjoys a long tradition in the Slovene littoral, certain oenologists claiming this very region to be its origin. It has been cultivated here since at least the 13th century.
Late in the season, the grapes are hand-picked with a short period between the picking and fermentation. Fermentation begins in large fermentation tanks with natural yeast and is completed in wooden barriques where the wine matures on its own lees from 18 months without decanting.
Golden to amber colour, which speaks of longer skin contact. Nose is amazingly rich for Ribolla, with gooseberries and blackcurrants dominating over gentle piny and fine oaky notes. Very dry, medium bodied with touch of tannins and salty character. This is a homage to Ribolla, the oldest variety in Brda. It is excellent now, but will be great in next decade until 2025.

| 100% Ribolla
Late harvest, hand-picked grapes are destemmed by hand and placed in new oak barrels. Fermentation begins in the berries themselves, which gradually release into the wine. After 8 months of maturing, on the full moon, the wine is gravity racked into bottles without added sulphur, filtration or pressing. This is as close as it gets to the wine ancient man found in nature.
Notes of wood ageing are present, with a refined spicy woody note, hinting at incense and fine herbs. On the palate the wine is dry, elegant, slightly bitter and youthful. Fruity notes on the nose with plenty of character and a fine, long aftertaste. An extraordinary wine. | |

| 100% Malvasia
For the first couple of years - the Movia Turno line, which is a series of new and young vineyards from the premier Slovenian producer Movia was limited only to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
This year they launched the first version of white grape - Malvasia. Given a bit of maceration, you will notice the beautiful amber colour. The acid is also higher than your typical Malvasia. A complex wine and wonderful additional to the Movia lineup. | |

| 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (25 yr old vines)

Opaque ruby, multi-layered on the nose, showing dark red and black fruit with fine oak and toast. Dry on the palate, with lots of ripe acidity and tannins forming a backbone for some serious cellaring. | |
