✨ Technical Specifications
In the sun-drenched, terraced hills of Goriška Brda, where the snowy peaks of the Julian Alps meet the warm breezes of the Adriatic Sea, the Rebula grape has reigned supreme for centuries. Documented in local archives since the Middle Ages, Rebula is the true soul of Slovenian Primorska. The Quercus Rebula expression by Klet Brda captures this ancient heritage in a contemporary, vibrant style. Grown on the region's signature 'opoka' soil—a mineral-rich layered marl and sandstone—the vines dig deep, imparting a distinctive saline minerality to the wine. Fermented gently in stainless steel to preserve its lively character, this wine tells the story of generations of family growers who have meticulously hand-harvested these steep slopes, crafting a white wine that is as refreshing as the alpine wind and as warm as the Mediterranean sun.
