Marinic is a Slovenian company located in Vedrijan, near the Dobrovo Castle, in the heart of Collio Brda, an area famous especially for the production of white wines, characterized by a unique terroir that extends beyond the Italian border. The elegant wines of the Marinic family are born from the collaboration with Charles-Louis de Noüe, a French winemaker and co-owner of Domaine Leflaive in Burgundy.
The Ribolla Gialla grapes are carefully selected and hand-picked from the oldest vineyards on the estate (between 40 and 50 years old), planted on soils composed of sandstone and limestone and cultivated without chemical aids. After fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine rests for 18 months, half in steel and half in barrique.
Ribolla Gialla Gaugnaz I Cru is a complex and multifaceted wine with bright straw-yellow color and golden reflections. On the nose, it reveals a broad aromatic profile with citrus and ripe peach notes, mineral and menthol hints, white flowers and candied citron peel nuances . On the palate, it is voluminous, vigorous, and well-structured, with a medium body, a refreshing and well-balanced acidity, and a long finish characterized by a pleasant mineral vein. It is versatile in food pairings: it goes well with fish, white meat, and even medium-aged cheeses.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
