Originally founded in 1820, the Movia winery and estate is located in Slovenia’s Brda appellation in the village of Ceglo, just a stone’s throw away from the Italian border. Movia became one of Europe’s most famous wineries following World War II and is widely recognized in the wine industry for putting Slovenia on the map as a serious wine region. Today, Movia is led by winemaker Aleš Kristančič who is recognized for his commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices. Movia primarily grows and works with Rebula, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, all without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals.
Movia’s Exto Gredic is made from 100% Friulano (also called Sauvignonasse), a grape indigenous to Friuli. It produces wines that are straw yellow in color with ripe golden hues and glossy texture on the mouthfeel. Exto Gredic opens with aromatics of melon, pear, and yellow grapefruit mixed with hints of fresh-cut grass, peach tea, white pepper and vanilla. The mouthfeel is soft and rounded with lively freshness and unmistakable minerality. Flavors of orange, lemon tart, and honey linger in a long-lasting finish. This wine can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of dishes including salads, burrata and pesto, grilled poultry, and seafood.
A Birthday to Remember with DAOU & Colomé Celebrating my mother’s birthday was made even more special thanks to two incredible wines—DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 and Colomé Auténtico Malbec 2020. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon. From the first sip, it enveloped us in its rich, velvety embrace. The deep dark fruit flavors, hints of cocoa, and perfectly balanced oak made every glass feel like a true indulgence. It was bold yet elegant, a wine that effortlessly brought warmth and joy to our gathering. Seeing my mother savor each sip with a smile made it all the more memorable. The Colomé Auténtico Malbec also delivered beautifully, with its pure expression of high-altitude Malbec. It was powerful, with ripe blackberries, spice, and a smooth, lingering finish—an excellent complement to the evening. These wines didn’t just enhance our meal; they became part of the celebration, elevating every toast and conversation. A heartfelt thank you to DAOU and Colomé for making this special occasion truly unforgettable!
