Rebula, Sauvignonasse, Sivi Pinot10.89 euros at the producer's own shop
The cooperative's amber wine, blended from the three Brda whites at 12.5 percent: Rebula twelve months on skins in wood, Sauvignonasse a month in steel, Sivi Pinot three days in amphora.
Tip: Taste this before spending forty euros on a small-estate amber wine. Each variety is fermented separately and the Rebula does the long maceration on its own.
Rebula7.69 euros at the producer's own shop
Sparkling Rebula from the cellar that first made it in 1962, fresh and fruit-forward, and still under eight euros a bottle.
Tip: The 1962 date matters: Klet Brda has been bottling sparkling Rebula here since before the style was fashionable anywhere.
Rebula14.73 euros at the producer's own shop
The Bagueri Rebula is the cooperative's skin-macerated top tier, named for Silverio de Baguer, the Catalan count who owned Dobrovo Castle and planted vines here without tree supports in 1881.
Tip: Still well under twenty-five euros, and the closest a co-op bottle gets to the small-estate amber wines of Ceglo and Medana.
Rebula13.50 euros at the cellar shop
The Klasična line Rebula from Matjaž Četrtič's cellar at Gonjače, the varietal bottling of the house that built itself around this grape.
Tip: Ferdinand prices its whole Klasična range at one figure, so a mixed six of Rebula, Malvazija, Sivi Pinot, Merlot and Cabernet costs the same per bottle.
Malvazija13.50 euros at the cellar shop
Malvazija in its dry Adriatic form from the Gonjače cellar, the same Klasična tier and the same price as the house Rebula.
Tip: The Época version of this wine costs 25 euros and spends time on skins. Taste the 13.50 euro bottling first to hear what maceration changes.
Sivi Pinot13.50 euros at the cellar shop
Pinot Gris grown on Brda marl and bottled without skin contact in the Klasična range, a counterweight to the Amber Gris the same cellar makes in its Época line.
Tip: Buy it alongside the Amber Gris if your budget stretches: same grape, same slope, two completely different wines.
