Kristančič, Rebula, Brda, Primorska, Slovenia, 2020

From the Goriška Brda region of Primorska, Western Slovenia, this is a passionate white made using the Rebula grape. Acacia honey-perfumed pineapple and apricot on the nose. Ripe, buttered yellow apple, pastry and peach on the palate plus a touch of sweetness, seasoned with cinnamon and white pepper spices. Fermentation and ageing on skins give the wine a concentrated palate and a touch of tannin on the gums. Exotic and long.
