Founded by Czech entrepreneur Miroslav Lekes, Réva is a young estate based in Monforte d’Alba, with vineyards across six key Barolo communes including Serralunga, Barolo, Grinzane Cavour and Novello. The estate manages 25 hectares of certified organic vineyards and an additional 26 hectares of woods, hazelnuts and mixed agriculture.
Focused primarily on Nebbiolo, Réva produces a range of Barolo DOCG from crus such as Ravera, Cannubi, Lazzarito and Cerretta. Wines are made using spontaneous fermentation and aged in large Austrian oak, with a separate riserva program for select vintages. Réva’s winemaking is exacting yet intuitive, balancing scientific rigour with the soul of tradition.
‘A Barolo that’s teaching a masterclass in Nebbiolo…ripe cherries take the lead, fresh-ground spices and orange peel handle backup, while rose petals and herbs add their unplugged vibe.’
In the spirit of reconciliation Small Story Merchants acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
