Slovenian Wine (Orange and Rebula)

Slovenia

The amber frontier: Slovenian wines — skin-contact 'orange' wines from Goriška Brda and Vipava (Rebula/Ribolla, Malvazija), Karst Teran (dark red from iron soil, with pršut), and the world's oldest vine (Maribor's Old Vine, 400+ years, still bearing).

What it is

The amber frontier: Slovenian wines — skin-contact 'orange' wines from Goriška Brda and Vipava (Rebula/Ribolla, Malvazija), Karst Teran (dark red from iron soil, with pršut), and the world's oldest vine (Maribor's Old Vine, 400+ years, still bearing). Origins: wine in Slovenia predates Rome (the Celtic and Roman eras); the modern natural-wine movement found a homeland in Brda's hills (Movia, Klinec). Made from: native and borderland grapes, often skin-macerated in the old way. How it's made: 1) Grow on terraces shared with Italy (Collio/Brda is one hill, two countries). 2) Ferment on skins for the amber style. 3) Age in wood; bottle unfiltered for the radicals. Served: at osmice (farm wine weeks) and Ljubljana's wine bars. Flavor: amber wines = apricot, tea, tannin; Teran = iron and berries. Strength: 12-14%. Culture: Slovenia is a wine civilisation in miniature — three wine lands, 52 grape varieties, one tiny country. See also: Slovenian Brandies.
