About the Wine – Fedora Rebula
The afternoon I first tasted this Rebula in Düsseldorf is one I still reach for when I think of orange wine that feels both alive and effortless. After a long weekend of heavy pours, this bottle came through with a kind of clarity that made you sit up straight again. Its amber edges and articulate acidity felt like a breath of fresh Karst wind. This Rebula comes from the Vipava Valley in Slovenia, from the terraced vineyards around Dolanci that Valter and Mojca farm organically where the Bora and Mediterranean breezes meet. Rebula (the local name for the Ribolla Gialla grape) is at home here, and at Fedora it’s given a gentle skin contact, letting light texture and fruit clarity coexist. What you’re left with is something that speaks directly to place: mineral, expressive, and poised.
About the Winemakers – Fedora
Valter and Mojca Kobal revived their family’s vineyards, first planted in 1880, and chose independence over the cooperative cellar, turning Fedora into a house of indigenous wines rooted in this sloping Vipava hillside. Together they tend vines with organic and biodynamic sensibilities, and their work in Dolanci feels less like production and more like stewardship of a landscape and its stories. Their personalities are in the wine: grounded, curious, and unafraid of authenticity.
Food Pairing
This Rebula wants simple, honest food, a platter of grilled prawns dressed with lemon and olive oil, a bowl of Trofie with basil pesto, or a crisp radicchio and shaved fennel salad. It brings brightness to the table without stealing the show, just like that afternoon in Düsseldorf when it waited its turn and then gently took over the conversation.

Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
