Marjan Simcic

The Simcic family has grown vines in Medana, Goriska Brda, since 1860; their vineyards were already rated first class in the 1786 Habsburg classification. Marjan Simcic, fifth generation, took the reins in 1988 and built a modern cellar in 1997, and the sixth generation, Leonardo, is now involved. The wines are made from organically farmed (SI-EKO-001) vineyards in three tiers: Brda Classic, Cru Selection and the single-vineyard Opoka Cru.
