If you’re looking to explore beyond the usual white wines—this is where things get interesting.

The Movia ‘Vigna Dol’ Malval is a standout example of how Slovenian wine is pushing boundaries while staying rooted in tradition. Produced in the rolling hills of Goriška Brda—a region internationally recognised for its terroir-driven wines—this Malvasia offers both vibrancy and depth.

Brda’s unique ponca soils (a mix of marl and sandstone) combined with Mediterranean warmth and Alpine freshness create wines that are aromatic, structured, and distinctly mineral—placing Slovenian white wines firmly on the global stage.

🌿 Winemaking & Philosophy

Under the guidance of Aleš Kristančič, Movia has built a reputation for biodynamic, low-intervention winemaking that allows each vineyard site to speak clearly.

• Hand-selected Malvasia grapes
• 12 hours of skin contact for added texture and complexity
• Fermented with indigenous (wild) yeasts
• Aged 6 months on lees in egg-shaped tanks and large oak tonneaux

This combination gives the wine both precision and depth—a hallmark of modern Slovenian white wine.

👃 Aromatics

Bright, expressive, and layered:

• Yellow apple, mango & pineapple
• Orange and lemon citrus lift
• Almond blossom & delicate florals
• Subtle honey, white pepper & a hint of butter

Fresh yet complex—this is a wine that evolves as it opens.

👅 Palate

Textural, balanced, and refined:

• Medium to full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel
• Gentle grip from skin contact
• Vibrant acidity balanced by lees-driven creaminess
• Mineral backbone with a long, elegant finish

It sits beautifully between a classic aromatic white and a modern, lightly skin-contact style.

🍽 Food Pairing

Versatile and food-friendly:

• Salmon, tuna & sashimi
• Oven-baked or grilled fish
• Roast chicken (especially with herbs)
• Mediterranean dishes with olive oil and citrus
