Rebula Brda Classic
Rebula is a Slovene autochthonous variety, which is said to give its best results in the 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. This Rebula Classic, from middle-aged vines, is light yellow with gold accents; the bouquet is specifically soft (notes of lemon, green apple, citrus and grapefruit) and fruity. The harmony of acids, the elegant body and distinct minerality complete the taste to its excellence. We recommend trying it as an aperitif in spring and summer. It can be served with salad, vegetables, asparagus, white meat, sea food and rice dishes. We especially recommend it with sushi.
Marjan Simčič
Josef Simčić started to make wine at this Brda estate in 1860. Five generations later, Marjan Simčić carries on the tradition. His 18 hectares of vineyards straddle the border between Italy and Sloveniaand comprise several hills’ and many microclimates. This is why his wines are divided into three ranges: classic, cru and Opoka, which is a specific cru containing calcareous soil. Marjan’s attention to specific terroir, long aging of wines before release and consistent high quality has made him one of Europe’s best-known producers and the wines a benchmark for Slovenia. Cru Selection wines are complex, produced with the best selected grapes from older vineyards. The vine was cultivated so that its root system grew deeper, in a soil poor with organic components, it extracts only the mineral components that guarantee a constant high quality of the grape. The grapes are selectively hand picked when fully matured. Opoka wines are extremely rich and complex. They are produced only with grapes of the most exceptional harvests, in extremely small quantities, matured for 22 to 36 months in the finest wooden barrels and poured with no filtration, except during decantation. They are released to the market only six months after bottling.
