WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Brda Cru Selection Rebula is produced using spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, which lasts for about four days and includes a period of skin maceration in large, 4,000-liter conical oak vats. Following fermentation, the wine is pressed using a pneumatic press. The wine then matures for eighteen months on its lees in 2,500-liter conical oak vats. An additional four months are spent aging in the bottle. The vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles, and yields are kept low, around 30 hl/ha, to ensure grape quality. The vines used for this selection are over 50 years old.
