Movia ranks among classic Orange wine producers like Gravner and Radikon, though often at a much more reasonable asking price.

This incredibly balanced and rich Ribolla from Slovenia begins with the striking amber color, a result of extended kin contact. Then the nose encounters a symphony of compelling aromas including gooseberry, apricot, nightflowers and fruit leather leading to a textured palate of stone fruit, muted tropical fruits, stem ginger and rose peta;s ellipsing into gentle tannins on the lengthy and sophisticated finish.

While this is a wine perfect for enjoying on its own as an aperitif, as the focus of it could well be the enjoyment of an evening in and of itself.
