Kabaj Goriška Brda Rebula – 2007 – 9.2 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

This wine a rebula with a cause is expressive; deeply golden in color — a varietal that is found in neighbouring Italy and known as Ribolla Gialla.  Very dry–low alcohol and high acid.  A very nice example of Rebula and this is fermented with native yeast and has been held 3 years.

Dry; complex, highly differentiated from other white wines; while it’s coloration might suggest a relationship to Chardonnay and yet it is orbitals away from that varietal.  Notes of winter pear, yellow citrus, white tea, nutmeg, cardamom, hint of butterscotch and almond.
