POVH ORANGE REBULA

You definitely need this orange wine for all those who love lamb, various chicken risottos, White polenta. It also goes well with chicken, red meat such as beef and veal. If you combine the above dishes with Walnuts, Aubergine, sweet potatoes and roast and/or caramelised veg, you get a winning combination that does not go without orange wine.

Vinification: for the orange wine we use the Ribolla variety, which belongs to the middle late varieties. We are very careful to achieve the appropriate grapes, as we want the highest possible level of alcohol, which acts as a natural protector of wine. Precisely because of this, the level of residual sugar is very low, as we want the sugar to be converted into alcohol.

Rebula intended for orange wine is harvested in October. The grapes are harvested in the early morning hours, when the temperature is still low, and immediately brought to the cellar for further processing. When the grapes are brought to the cellar, follow the process of separating the strawberries from the stalks and the grape pulp is pumped into the tub, where maceration and fermentation will take place for the next 14 days.

After maceration, the grape puree is squeezed in a pressed and the young wine is poured into new acacia barrels, where the wine will mature for the next 12 months and give the wine a special, slightly bitter taste with a high tannin content.
