Edi Simčič is a family estate in Goriška Brda that bottled its first wine in 1989 after decades of Marica and Edi Simčič growing grapes for the local cooperative. Their son Aleks took over in the 1990s, set the house style and built the modern cellar; the third generation, Jure and Jakob, now works alongside him. Thirteen hectares on marl and sandstone around Kozana and Fojana yield about 65,000 bottles a year, mostly barrel-fermented whites in the Klasik, Lex, Kolos and Single Vineyard lines.
