The grapes originate from the selected vineyard Lisičk, located in the Neblo village. This is a terraced vineyard of Ribolla Gialla with a classic marl soil, where, for the last decade, vines have been cultivated according to the principles of sustainable production. Located in a southern sunny area at 150 m above sea level, this carefully tended grassed vineyard is 25 to 30 years old.

In August, selected used barrels were smoked with a special method using Mediterranean herbs (sage, laurel, thyme, wild thyme, rosemary) in preparation for harvest. In the beginning of October, barrels were filled with Ribolla must, to which whole grape berries were added beforehand (approx. 20% of the volume). Fermentation took place at higher temperatures ranging from 17 to 18 degrees Celsius. After fermentation was completed, wine was left in contact with the berries and macerated for 10 months.
Rebula Motnik is an orange macerated wine of golden colour. Its full body and vibrant freshness, so typical of Ribolla Gialla, are complemented by a lovely herbal aroma. The wine combines the old tradition from Brda and modern knowledge with the interpretation of one of the most prominent Slovenian oenologists, Darinko Ribolica, and our main cellarman Igor Skubin.
Served cooled at 12° – 14°C. We recommend refreshing salads, white sea fish dishes, seafood and vegetable risotto.
