Aleš Kristančič says about Lunar: The king of special wines. The healthiest and purest wine without added sulfur. Pure nature in a glass. Exceptional wine. Matured in new oak barrels with a specially treated lid. Fermentation begins in the berries themselves, which after a certain period of time release the must. After 8 months of maturation, under a full moon, the wine is bottled - or rather decanted - into bottles. Without adding sulfur, without filtration and without fining. This way we get a wine that is very close to the wine that man found in nature.

MOVIA is a family winery with a long history dating back to 1820. The winery is located in the heart of the town of Collio on the border between Slovenia and Italy.
Aleš Kristančič farms 18 vineyards covering an area of 22 hectares. Aleš belongs to the 8th generation of winemakers in the Kristančič family. In his youth, he studied in Bordeaux and Burgundy, where he developed the idea of a completely different concept of wine production than other winemakers. The quality of Movia wine allowed the Kristančič family to become the exclusive suppliers of wine to state leaders in the former SFR Yugoslavia in 1958. After World War II, the vineyards remained in the hands of the family, which allowed this tradition to continue in Brda.
The wines are produced with the greatest humility towards nature, without unnecessary intervention by the winemaker and without filtration. His natural wines are as legendary as he himself. We personally have probably never met a more "crazy" winemaker. His tastings are legendary and we always can't wait for our next visit to Slovenia.
