Rebula, also known as Ribolla Gialla, is a native to Friuli, Oslavia and this little corner of western Slovenia. Here it is planted in the famous local opoka (marl) soils of the area, and was hand-harvested in late September. As the natural fermentation began, the skins remained with the must for 14 days in a combination of stainless steel and Acacia wood barrels. The wine remained in giant 2000 liter Acacia wood barrels for eight months before being bottled without filtration.
