Grapes are sourced from the Medena and Jordana vineyards of the Simčič Estate, as well as from the vineyards of Klet Brda, a winery partner in this product line. The vines are between 7 and 33 years old. All are planted in the region’s Opoka soils, at elevations between 200 and 250 masl, and are sustainably farmed using biodynamic methods.
In 1860, Jozef Simčič bought a farm near the village of Medena and planted vineyards. Five generations later, Marjan Simčič has become an icon in the industry, crafting internationally renowned wines as well as consulting with dozens of wineries. He uses biodynamic methods and regenerative agriculture, taking great care to work in symbiosis with the native fauna and flora. Simčič is located near the village of Medena, within Brda, in the Littoral wine region of western Slovenia. Bordering the Gorizia Hills DOC of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy, Brda acts like a pocket between the sub alpine hills and the Friuli plain. It was one of the first wine growing regions in Slovenia to make a concentrated attempt at establishing an international reputation for quality. The climate here is continental, with a Mediterranean influence.
