2022 Edi Simčič “Fojana” Rebula, Goriška Brda, Slovenia

Youthful on the nose, quite restrained, with classic Rebula character featuring notes of riper yellow fruits, apples & bread crust. Dry on the palate with moderately high acid, which, combined with a slightly buttery texture and medium body, gives the wine a good backbone.

ABOUT THIS WINE

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The Simčič family had been farming the hills of Goriška Brda decades before Edi and his wife Marica bottled their first vintage in 1989. Today, their son Aleks and grandsons Jure and Jakob tend 13 hectares of steep, sun-drenched slopes across three villages, farming sustainably on the region’s signature opoka soils featuring layers of calcareous sandstone, marl, and clay that lend a distinctive salinity. Yields average just 700 grams per vine, around a half-bottle per plant.
