It draws on three indigenous and local varieties—sauvignonasse (another term for Friulano), rebula, and malvazija—sourced from vineyards in Vipolže, Kozana, and Fojana. Vineyards are planted in \u003cem\u003eOpoka\u003c\/em\u003e, a unique blend of marl, sandstone and limestone soils. The wine is fermented with a native pied de cuve and aged 11 months in French oak barriques (10–15% new), followed by 6 months in bottle. The cool, damp 2023 vintage brings freshness and energy with notes of white peach, dried tarragon, a squeeze of grapefruit pith, and a sea breeze finish. Around 2,600 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52591890071841,"sku":"210000021686","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/SSWINEBOTTLEPHOTOTEMPLATE_3bdad69e-815d-4ca6-9246-6273ea951cf4.png?v=1776870989","url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/products\/2023-edi-simcic-triton-white-blend-goriska-brda-slovenia","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
