Domaine Marjan Simcic Ribolla Brda Classic 2022 750ml

A bright pale straw-yellow wine with light gold accents. Clean and bright with good weight though still with a lightness of touch, with generous poached pear notes and a touch of acacia and wild marjoram. It’s completed by fine acidity and a little complexity and salinity on the finish. Harmonious and drinkable introduction to the Ribolla grape from the Brda hills.

Ribolla is a native Slovenian variety (in Italy it is known as Ribolla Gialla), which is known for giving the best results in the Brda region. It grows best on Brda marl soil (Opoka) under the influence of the cool winds from the Julian Alps and the mild Mediterranean climate.
