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)
Marjan Simcic Ribolla Cru Selection 2022
13.5% abv
“A bright antique gold wine. The bouquet is complex and inviting with notes of baked apple, quince jelly, biscuit crumb, spice and orange zest. To taste, there’s great intensity and lovely refreshing acid balance, with touches of stone fruit, peach and orange zest enhanced by a hint of sweet spice and a sapid, saline finish that lingers. A definite step-up in complexity and structure thanks to tiny yields and old vines.”
Caroline Gilby MW
The Ribolla Selekcija is sourced from vines of over 58 to 62 years old in Brda Medana Crua. Fermentation in 40hl conical oak with 4 days on the skins. This is followed by 18months aging in 2.5hl conical oak tino and a further minimum 6 months in bottle. Big and complex with dried fruits, candied zest and a slice of tarte tatin.
444 cases
The Selekcija range of Cru Selections are all sourced from old vines growing in the very best sites. The wines are fermented in wood on the skins and then undergo a long aging in large wood.
