Brda wine and cheese
Tolminc with Skin-contact (orange) Rebula and Rebula-led blends
Our pickRebula and Rebula-led blends left on their skins gain tannin and a dry, grippy, savoury texture that an aged Tolminc, sweet and piquant, can lean on, while the wine's acidity cuts the fat of the firm paste.
Albuminska skuta with Fresh Rebula
Our pickAlbuminska skuta is a soft whey cheese, mild and naturally sweet from the lactose left in the whey. A dry, light to medium-bodied Rebula with high acidity lifts the soft curd without covering it, on bread or with herbs.
Tolminc with Full-bodied Rebula
Our pickFresh acidity in a full-bodied Rebula cuts the fat of a firm wheel, and the wine's weight stands up to a paste that grows more intense with age. Best with a Tolminc aged well beyond the 60-day minimum.
