Originally founded in 1820, the Movia winery and estate in Brda (Slovenia) was one of Europe’s most famous wineries in the years that followed World War II. Located in the village of Ceglo in the heart of the Brda appellation, just across the border from Italy; a stone’s throw away from Friuli-Venezia-Giulia’s Collio region. Movia put the Slovenia on the map of the world’s great wine regions in the late 1990s when the interest in wines grown in former Eastern Bloc states began to flourish.
The current generation of Movia is led by winemaker Aleš Kristančič who is as renowned for his passionate embrace of organic and biodynamic farming practices as he is for his larger-than-life personality and ingenious approach to winemaking.
Today, Aleš primarily grows Rebula, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir — all without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides.
Tasting Notes
A wine with a crystalline, almost brilliant, straw yellow color with a golden hue and a dense texture. Its intense bouquet is reminiscent of yellow apple, mango, pineapple, orange, and lemon. Almond blossom intertwines with a delicate honey hint, white pepper, and a slight hint of butter. Its soft taste acts slightly warm, its bright and youthful acidity expresses the mineral side of the wine. A wine of intensity, elegance, and long persistence. Flavors of tropic fruit, marzipan and white flowers are repeated in the mouth. A Malvasia with character, which will perfectly accompany salmon and tuna, as well as sashimi and fish baked in the oven. Also great for roast chicken thighs. – Valentin Bufolin Best Sommelier of Slovenia 2022, Vice President of Slovenian Sommelier Association
