Slovenian winery Simcic, exclusive to Bancroft Wines in the UK, will be exhibiting at Decanter's Mediterranean Fine Wine Encounter in March. Simic is rated as number two in their top five must-visit wineries taking part in the event, out of a total of almost 70.
“The vineyards of Simčič straddle the border between Italy
and Slovenia in an area called the Brda hills. Famed for its mineral-rich
sandstone and marl soil, this region also reaps the benefits of warm
Mediterranean air on one side, and shelter from colder alpine influences on the
other thanks to the Trnovoska Plateau; all three factors being recognised as
far back as the Romans for being conducive to quality winemaking.
The
farm was established in the latter half of the 19th century by Anton Simčič,
who also built an inn and general store in the local village, plus a wine
merchant in Vienna.
At
the helm since 1988 has been Marjan Simčič who has overseen a transition
towards more organic principles and the banishing of insecticides and chemical
fertilisers.
For
many, Simčič represents the apex of the Slovenian wine world, and it truly
makes extraordinary wines full of personality and charm, as evidenced by the
volume of awards it has been garlanded with around the world.”
