One of the finest Chardonnays produced anywhere in the world, this classic from Simčič offers a profound array of sweet cream, peaches, citrus, and honeycomb, along with a full, lush volume in the mouth. Most wineries ferment in steel, then pass through oak, giving the wine barbed edges and an inelegant balance; Simčič ferments his wine in the barrel, offering a soft, velvety tannin that is a confident and generous.

Winemaker Aleks Simčič has a heart for Sauvignon Blanc, and it shows. This voluptuous, ageworthy specimen bursts with rich varietal character on the nose. Its fully developed body offers a fine mineral core, with notes of mint, menthol, sweet-scented grass, honeycomb and white blossoms. With bottle aging, the mature fruits, exotic spices, and long finish become increasingly present. Perfect for grilled fish, or warm “primi piatti” with aromatic herbs.

Edi Simčič calls his wines “controversial.” Funny for a man whose quiet, timeless smile puts one completely at ease. But just over the Italian border, in the nature-blessed zone of Goriška Brda, Simčič is turning traditional heads with his stunningly bold wines. His Duet is pure Simčič: bold, stirring, compelling. Its richness is like a restaurant-only dessert: chocolate, cherries, cheesecake, and coffee. Its silky tannins underscore a lush, ripe, fruit-full body that goes on and on, and will improve for 20 years.

A nano-production Cab-Merlot blend of stunning power, Duet Lex is deeply complex and refined. Extremely low yields concentrate the tannins, along with rich layers of plum, dark tea, and wood smoke. A monumental achievement that has garnered exceptional ratings from (among others) Wine Enthusiast: “Lifted blackberry and cherry aromas meld into flavors of ripe black-fruit, violet and black peppercorn in this bold, beautiful Bordeaux-style blend. It’s richly concentrated, with vibrant acidity and lush, furry tannins.”

One of Europe's best-kept secrets, the charismatic Rebula (Ribolla Gialla) grape grows in the textured, windswept hills of Friuli and next-door Slovenia. Here, this nano-production, single cru rendition from Aleks Simčič takes the classic variety to staggering new heights. A rich, oily texture and layer upon layer of flavor, combined with a paradoxical freshness and perfectly-balanced acidity. Such power, and yet such restraint... truly a white wine to make the French weep. Only 180 bottles allocated to the U.S.

Layered on the nose and complex on the palate, this single cru, subalpine Sauvignon displays incredible innovation and typicity all at once. Made from a single acre of 35 year-old vines, this intense, concentrated wine is full of paradox: a ripe, weighty texture underpinned by a clean, tense acidity; an explosion of tropical and stone fruits backed by a clear-headed minerality and a distinct salinity. Get ready to study this wine for days! Less than 300 cases made and 240 bottles allocated to the US.

Rivalling Bordeaux’s highest champions, this flagship wine from Edi Simčič can only be described as transcendent. With each sip, the endless canopy of layers extends itself even further: pine oil, cherry liqueur, bilberry and dried blueberries, tea leaves, liquid smoke, cinnamon stick, fern leaf and a nuanced, dirt road minerality.... the list goes on and on! A tannic masterpiece, Kolos is Slovenian in its purest expression and not, in fact, Bordeaux! Only 3000 bottles made.

This stunning, single-vineyard Chardonnay originates from the Simčič family’s highest altitude site. The wine’s sheer power and delineation reveal their decision to bottle this cru separately. Baffling complexity begins in the nose with hazelnuts, spiced gingerbread, and caramel backing a host of tropical and stone fruits... followed by a voluptuous palate of Meyer lemon, crème brûlée, golden apple, crushed limestone, and toasted almond that finishes with a saline spike. Absolutely glorious! Less than 300 cases made.

SW exposure, rich clay soils, and cooling alpine breezes combine to give us this powerhouse Sauvignon from Slovenian white wine master Aleks Simčič. Located in the hills adjacent to Italy's famed Collio district, the estate specializes in highly concentrated, micro-production wines that escort your taste buds to places you didn't know existed! Thanks to low yields that defy logic, we get deep layers of exotic fruit, stone fruit, and gooseberry that weave on and on for days... just 2400 bottles made with only 10% allocated to the US.
