This extraordinary expression is crafted entirely from Ribolla Gialla grapes, a varietal that reveals its full potential through Joško Gravner's meticulous and unconventional winemaking philosophy. The wine's character emerges from an extended and deliberate skin contact process conducted in traditional underground Georgian amphorae, a technique that imparts remarkable depth and textural complexity. Following this transformative maceration, the wine rests patiently in large oak casks, allowing for graceful aging and the development of layered aromatics and nuanced flavors. The commitment to minimal intervention—notably the absence of filtration—preserves the wine's natural essence and full-bodied character. The result is a visually stunning deep amber-yellow wine that captivates the eye before the first sip. On the palate, expect a profoundly complex and highly textured experience, with the distinctive mineral-driven profile and savory notes characteristic of Gravner's uncompromising approach to winemaking. This is a wine for the adventurous collector and serious enthusiast seeking authenticity and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eVinification:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts via extended skin contact inside buried Georgian amphorae, followed by additional resting time in amphorae and years of maturation in large neutral oak barrels.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eBottling:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled unfined and unfiltered, often timed with the lunar cycle.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eAppearance:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, striking amber-gold with copper and orange highlights.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eAroma:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered and complex, displaying dried apricot, peach jam, beeswax, sage, rosemary, thyme, and wet stone minerality.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"iNqyIf\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003ePalate:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied, structured, and deep with a savory, saline core.
