✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched, terraced hills of Goriška Brda, the 'Zlata Rebula' (Golden Rebula) is a tribute to the region's signature white grape, which has been cultivated in these borderlands since at least the 14th century. Grown on 'opoka'—a local soil composed of layered marl and sandstone—the vines dig deep, absorbing rich mineral complexity. The 'Family Vineyards' label celebrates the collaborative heritage of hundreds of local families who hand-harvest these golden-skinned grapes. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its pristine varietal character, this wine captures the unique intersection of warm Adriatic breezes and cool Alpine drafts, yielding a classic expression of Rebula defined by its vibrant acidity, delicate meadow flower aromas, and a signature almond finish.
