Edi Simčič Chardonnay 2018 Slovenia

100% Chardonnay

With richness and complexity perfectly balanced by freshness and elegance, this sublime Chardonnay demonstrates the full potential of this top-rated Slovenian wine region. The fruit is sourced from the estate's best vines, and the young wine spends 10 months ageing in small oak barrels to add body and intensity to the overall flavour profile.

In 1990, the Simcic family established their winery in Slovenia's stunning Gorizia Hills, and today they have 30 acres of vines set on the gentle slopes around the village of Vipole, from which they produce artisanal wines from both local and international grape varieties. The region is a short distance from Friuli in Italy, and the Mediterranean climate and nearby Alps provide ideal conditions for premium winemaking.
