It expresses the essence of the Primorska Goriška Brda denomination through careful winemaking. Fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003etruncated conical oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, without the use of selected yeasts and with a brief maceration. The result is a glass with a dry style, \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied and intense\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by marked freshness, spicy notes and a persistent mineral finish. This wine has an excellent capacity for long-term ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay for this label originates within the territory of Primorska Goriška Brda. The vines grow between 150 and 250 metres above sea level, benefiting from ideal \u003cstrong\u003esoutheast and southwest exposures\u003c\/strong\u003e. The terroir is defined by \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous and marl soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, composed of wind-blown sedimentary marl particularly rich in minerals. This specific geological matrix is directly reflected in the wine's profile, giving it a broad flavour texture and a dry finish. The \u003cstrong\u003eMarjan Simcic\u003c\/strong\u003e winery manages these vineyards in harmony with the natural winegrowing vocation of this prized hilly environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in mid-September with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e to select only the best bunches. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-day skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e and fermentation conducted by indigenous yeasts. Maturation continues with a prolonged ageing in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for twenty-one months, followed by a carefully timed rest in the bottle. The absence of filtration preserves the absolute integrity of the palate, which releases clear aromas of apple, cashew and citrus touches, enriched by elegantly integrated woody notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Brda, Slovenia, the \u003cstrong\u003eCru Selection Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates the tradition of a family dedicated to viticulture since 1860. The \u003cstrong\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes come from vineyards situated between 150 and 250 metres above sea level.
