In the glass, \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e releases an inviting bouquet of ripe apple, white peach, lemon and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is dry and harmonious, offering a \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy texture\u003c\/strong\u003e with hints of pineapple and dried fruit that lead to a persistent finish. Its balance makes it ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003efish dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, white meats and recipes from modern vegetarian cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow in the plots of Gredič, Ceglo and Jordano, located within the \u003cstrong\u003eBrda\u003c\/strong\u003e region in Slovenia. The vines, cultivated between 150 and 250 metres above sea level, benefit from south-west and south-east exposures that ensure optimal ripening of the fruit. The soil is characterised by the presence of opoka, a complex composition of \u003cstrong\u003emarl, slate and sandstone\u003c\/strong\u003e with a calcareous-marl base. This particular geological structure gives the wine a mineral and dry character, faithfully enhancing the authentic vocation of the \u003cstrong\u003eSlovenian terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e as interpreted by Marjan Simcic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in mid-September with a manual harvest of the grapes. In the winery, the bunches undergo a \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of about twenty-four hours to encourage natural aromatic extraction. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in steel containers thanks to the action of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine gains volume and structure by resting for six months in steel tanks in contact with its own lees. The process is completed by \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least one month, an essential step to stabilise the freshness and harmony of the sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Marjan Simčič continues an ancient family tradition dating back to 1860, now in its fifth generation.
