2021 Movia Cabernet Sauvignon, Goriška Brda, Slovenia

ABOUT THE WINE
Grown on marl-rich slopes in Slovenia’s Goriška Brda—where Mediterranean sun meets Alpine influence—this Cabernet Sauvignon is farmed organically and harvested by hand. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in large oak barrels without fining or filtration, the wine shows the restraint and clarity that define Movia’s approach. While varietally true, it resists over-ripeness, focusing instead on purity of fruit and terroir expression. Notes of cassis, red plum, cedar, and a hint of green pepper emerge over time, supported by a linear structure and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. Best enjoyed with grilled meats, wild mushroom dishes, or aged hard cheeses.

The estate’s vineyards straddle the Slovenia-Italy border, capturing the complexity of this unique crossroads. From skin-contact whites to soulful reds, Movia wines are philosophical in nature—never rushed, always evolving, and unapologetically themselves.
