Quercus Rebula 2004
Quercus Rebula 2004
Goriska brda
Slovenia
Rebula is an Italian grapevine variety cultivated in the Croatian region of Istria (it is mentioned by the Medieval Istrian municipal statutes). It is grown in many wine growing regions in the littoral area of Slovenia, where it bears the controlled appellation label. Rebula wines have a specific flavor and freshness that comes not only from acidity, but partially from a remainder of carbon dioxide. In the glass, you will notice the small bubbles of carbon dioxide released from the bottom and along the edges.
Although the name of the “Quercus” brand means “oak” in Latin, this wine never touched wood. The fermentation at the controlled temperature of 14ºC took place in stainless steel barrels, and so did the wine aging. At first, the wine truly seems fresh. The first sip is sharp and fresh, but somewhat thin and meager. It lacks flavor and body. The flavor notes are very much compacted and compressed. On the palate it is slow, lazy, unrefined and in no way delicate. Also, the flavor that stays in the mouth is far from pleasure and balance. The acidity is in imbalance with fruit flavors and alcohol. Perhaps the reason for this is that the carbon dioxide is a colorless, sour flavored gas. All in all, for the same price, you can get a solid Slavonian Grasevina.
Best paired with: sincerely, we have no idea what to serve with this wine.
Serving temperature: 10 to 12°C
