Marjan Simcic Sauvignon Blanc Cru Selection 2022

Vol- 75cl

“Sauvignon Blanc has its own unique style in the Brda/Collio hills – aromatic yet with great fruitiness – typified in this limpid mid-gold wine. There’s an inviting and expressive nose, with aromas of cut grass, passion fruit, lemon oil and box leaf. To taste, it’s complex and intense with tropical fruit, papaya and crushed nettle notes then lingering, fine, fresh acidity. Elegant, mineral Sauvignon Blanc – a true terroir wine.”
Caroline Gilby MW

An intense golden colour invites you to discover rich aromas and a well-developed body. Slow ageing has drawn out complex notes ranging from Mediterranean herbs sage to paprika, from wild flowers to tobacco and leather: all rounded off in a long aftertaste.
Intensely golden hued, this is rich, full and gloriosuly balanced bat the intersection of structre, aromatics and developed fruit.

The Sauvignon Cru Selection is sourced from fruit from both sides of the border – Jordano (SLO), Podgredic (IT) – with vines of between 18 and 48 years old planted on clay, marl, flysch and opoka soils. Grapes are macerated for two days with ferment in stainless steel with wild yeasts. Aging then takes place in 2,500 litre conical oak (15 months). Bottling takes place after a few months in barrel without filtration.

Good stock

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)
