Sveti Martin Rebula

In 1296, Pope Boniface VIII mediated between the Bishop of Trieste and the San Giorgio Maggiore monastery in Venice. They had an argument about the sale of a batch of wine from the Ribola grape. More than seven hundred years later, Peter Stegovec presses this white wine from the same grape, in the same region.

It is lemon yellow and still has a tiny bubble on the edge of your glass. Tastes like pear and apple. Invigoratingly fresh with a mild hazelnut bitterness. Like champagne without bubbles. Don't argue about it. Just pour everyone.
