The quintessential expression of biodynamic winemaking and the ultimate rendition of the Rebula grape.
Led by the legendary Aleš Kristančič, Movia is a historic and world-renowned estate in Goriška Brda, pioneering biodynamic and natural winemaking since 1820. Their uncompromising dedication to the earth produces living wines that perfectly capture the wild spirit of this land where the Mediterranean and the Alps converge.
Tasting Notes
■ Appearance: A luminous, deep golden amber hue, reflecting extended skin contact and the natural purity of unfiltered winemaking.
■ Aroma: A complex and evolving bouquet of baked apple, dried apricot, and beeswax, layered with wild thyme, roasted almond, and a distinct chalky minerality.
■ Palate: Powerful, textural, and incredibly complex. Gentle, skin-derived tannins provide a firm grip, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel and a long, savory finish.
Grown using strict biodynamic practices. Hand-harvested late in the season, followed by natural fermentation with wild yeasts and extended skin contact. Matured for a long period in traditional oak barrels, then bottled unfiltered, unfined, with minimal sulfites.
The Story
The Unrivaled King of Brda Hills
Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) is the undisputed king of the Brda hills. Its thick skin and late-ripening nature make it perfectly suited for extended maceration, transforming it from a simple white wine into one with immense structure and aging potential.
Globally recognized as a benchmark for natural and biodynamic wines, earning high scores from critics like James Suckling. Movia's wines are highly sought after by collectors worldwide and feature on the wine lists of the most prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants.
Food Pairing
Recommended perfect matches for this wine:
- ■ Slow-roasted pork belly: The wine's vibrant acidity cuts through the rich, melting fat, while its substantial texture harmonizes beautifully with the savory, caramelized meat.
- ■ Grilled octopus with olive oil and herbs: The subtle smokiness of the grill and the meaty texture of the octopus are perfectly complemented by the wine's deep minerality and hints of Mediterranean herbs.
- ■ Aged hard cheeses (e.g., Parmigiano, aged Pecorino): The wine's nutty and dried fruit aromas naturally align with the crystallized richness and umami of aged cheeses.
Serving temperature: 12℃〜14℃ (Enjoy at this temperature range to fully appreciate its richness)
Vineyard & Terroir
Goriška Brda, Slovenia
Movia's vineyards stretch along the beautiful border between Italy and Slovenia, rooted deeply in nutrient-poor, mineral-rich marl known as "Opoka." The constant collision of warm Adriatic winds and cool Alpine breezes creates an ideal microclimate, putting the vines under intense stress yet yielding incredibly concentrated and energetic fruit.
"Rebula is the true soul of Brda, and Aleš expresses it more brilliantly than anyone. When I pour this wine here in Yokohama, customers are instantly captivated by its raw energy and depth. It's truly a living wine that commands the table and captivates the senses."
— Dejan (Owner of Wine Shop Piti)
