Orange weekly: Guerila – Rebula 2010

Guerila’s Rebula 2010 is restrained and pure on the nose, with attractive honeyed notes.

Rebula is the Slovenian alias for Friuli Collio’s Ribolla Gialla, and there’s no mistaking the characteristic chewiness which is this variety’s calling card. At least if you leave it on the skins for 14 days, as here. If that sounds scary, it’s not at all – the structure of this wine is accessible and refined.
