Exto Gredic 2022 (Movia)

Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before drinking. Originally founded in 1820, the Movia winery and estate is located in Slovenia’s Brda appellation in the village of Ceglo, just a stone’s throw away from the Italian border. Movia became one of Europe’s most famous wineries following World War II and is widely recognized in the wine industry for putting Slovenia on the map as a serious wine region. Today, Movia is led aby winemaker Aleš Kristančič who is recognized for his commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices. Movia primarily grows and works with Rebula, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, all without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals. Movia’s Exto Gredic is made from 100% Friulano (also called Sauvignonasse), a grape indigenous to Friuli. It produces wines that are straw yellow in color with ripe golden hues and glossy texture on the mouthfeel. Exto Gredic opens with aromatics of melon, pear, and yellow grapefruit mixed with hints of fresh-cut grass, peach tea, white pepper and vanilla. The mouthfeel is soft and rounded with lively freshness and unmistakable minerality. Flavors of orange, lemon tart, and honey linger in a long-lasting finish. This wine can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of dishes including salads, burrata and pesto, grilled poultry, and seafood.
