A sparkling that you need to disgorge on your own!
Originally founded in 1820, the Movia winery and estate in Brda (Slovenia) had already become one of Europe’s most famous wineries in the years that followed World War II. Its celebrity was bolstered by the fact that its wines were favorites of Marshal Tito who ruled over Slovenia and its neighbor Croatia as part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until 1980.
Late harvest is immediately notable on the nose, ripe pears and apple compote lean in with the gentlest bubbles. The texture is fantastic, soft and delicately touched by the oak in which the wine was aging in.
