Marjan Simcic Classic Ribolla 2023

12.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

“A light, bright yellow-gold wine. An aromatic bouquet of pears and quince blossom, with fresh apple and meadow flowers leads onto a smooth, zesty palate. There are notes of ripe apple, poached pear, stone fruit, and a lightly mineral finish. A harmonious and very drinkable version of the region’s signature grape.”
Caroline Gilby MW

Ribolla is a Slovene autochthonous variety, which is said to give best results in Goriška Brda region. It grows best on Brda marl soil (opoka) under the influence of the mild Mediterranean climate and cold wind from the Julian Alps. The Classic Ribolla, from vines aged from five to 31 years old on marl, slate, and sandstone (Opoka) solins in the Brda crus of Medana & Jordano.

Once picked the grapes are left to macerate with the skins for up to 48 hours giving weight and texture to the final wine. Fermentation happens with indigenous yeasts only in stainless steel. The wine then spends six months on lees prior to bottling.

The Slovenian region of Brda lies immediately to the east of Italy’s Collio region. The two denominations, in reality, comprise one contiguous quality wine zone whose terroir is rudely bisected by an international border. Today many winemakers and grapes cross the border in both directions in short journeys from vineyard to cellar. The Simcic family trace their wine making story in the region back to 1860. Their aim is to respect the historic traditions of the region in both viticulture and wine-making. The 24 Hectare estate's vineyards are farmed organically, yields are kept low and only natural yeasts are used. Marjan is one of the best winemakers in Europe and has honed his knowledge of his land all his life and works to progress the quality of the wines tirelessly every year. The wines are divided into three distinct ranges. Classic ( younger vines, all stainless steel, short maceration with lees aging). Cru Selection (single vineyard, oak ferment and aging, some skin contact). Opoka ( the oldest vines of the Crus, planted on the prized Opoka Soil, longer aging)
