Winemaker
Marjan Simcic

Marjan Simčič is a cult producer in Slovenia. Half his vineyards are in Italy and half in Slovenia. Much lauded by the international press including Decanter, Wine Spectator and Suckling this producer is at the top of wine producers in Slovenia (and we also think Italy). The soil for his vineyards is rich in minerals, which contributes to the production of these unique wines. Simčič makes his wines based on traditional methods and natural viticultural and winemaking techniques including native yeast and no chemical additives

Deep yellow colour, with mineral fragrances. Clear, although only decanted and not filtered before bottling. The nose of the wine displays its nobility. Pleasant note. Fresh, well balanced between alcohol and acids, announcing longevity. Persistent and very complex taste, tending to mature grape.

Producer

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.
