This Sauvignon Blanc glows with a clear, golden yellow colour in our glass. The texture is dense as the swirl calms down quickly. We notice slowly creeping tears along the walls. Its bouquet is alluring, intense with aromas of papaya, mango, ripe pineapple, dried yellow roses and acacia, as well as honey, candied lemons, tangerine, vanilla, anise, butter dough, thyme and a slight note of white pepper.
The taste is intense, it has an oily feel, but at the same time, it refreshes us and leaves a pleasant mineral salinity on the palate. Perceptions of ripe tropical fruit, sweet spices, and a slight caramel note are detected. This Sauvignon boasts a complex structure and an intense, long-lasting, elegant taste.
Its characteristics make it ideal for pairing with Asian food, various sashimi, or dishes that the masters have enriched with yuzu citrus. It will also go well with complex, Haut-cuisine dishes assembled with fish or white meat.
The Movia estate dates back to 1700, passing into the hands of the Kristan?i? family with a wedding in 1820. The estate extends over 22 hectares of land, about half of which lie on the Italian side of the Gorika Brda (Collio).
