2021 Movia Sauvignon Blanc, Goriška Brda, Slovenia
ABOUT THE WINE
Sourced from organically farmed vines on the marl and sandstone slopes of Goriška Brda, this Sauvignon Blanc is made with minimal intervention to let the terroir speak. After hand-harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts in large oak casks, where the wine remains on its lees for added depth and complexity. Unlike many New World counterparts, this Sauvignon shows restrained varietal character in favor of texture and earth. Notes of grapefruit pith, wild herbs, crushed stone, and a whisper of smoke unfurl with air. The structure is firm yet elegant, with bright acidity and a dry, savory finish. Ideal with grilled seafood, asparagus risotto, or aged goat cheese.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Movia is among Slovenia’s most revered and iconoclastic wineries, with winemaking traditions dating back to 1820. Under the stewardship of Aleš Kristančič, the estate is known for biodynamic farming, spontaneous fermentations, and an unfiltered, honest approach to winemaking. Straddling the Italian border in Goriška Brda, Movia crafts wines that challenge convention while remaining deeply rooted in local identity. Each bottle is a reflection of the estate’s wild, untamed vineyards and Aleš’s relentless pursuit of authenticity.
