Description
A still white wine from Slovenia, produced by Marjan Simcic. 100% Ribolla Gialla, 2023 vintage. A wine that tells the story of a family that has cultivated vines in Brda for generations, a unique region for the production of great white wines. The nose is complex, with hints of ripe citrus, candied fruit, and citron. Straw yellow with golden reflections, opaque. On the palate, it offers softness and warmth, but above all, drinkability, combined with the chewy structure of a red wine, a very long finish with mineral notes. A wine that pairs perfectly with fish dishes, white meats, and aged cheeses.

Marjan`s story, which was told and implemented through his wines in the past 20 years, in the year 2008 was brought to such perfection to present to public the result of his devotion - a new line of top quality wines ''Opoka''.
Along the wines’ structure we can follow the intertwining of long-lasting winemaker’s experience, signature of his character and all the best offered by the Brda terroir. In Brda jargon Opoka means marl of aeolian sediment very poor in organic structure, whereas very rich with mineral salts. Read more
