Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service.
Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious wineries in Slovenia, Marjan Simčič is a family business located in the Brda wine region, with vineyards distributed in both the Italian and Slovenian Collio. The company, founded in 1860, grows its grapes according to organic standards and produces single-varietal wines using traditional winemaking techniques.
The Chardonnay grapes selected for this wine are harvested by hand from Medana Jama cru in Plešivo. Here the vines, aged between 38 and 48 years, rest on soils composed of marl, slate, and sandstone (Opoka), at an altitude of approximately 150 - 250 meters. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and in contact with the skins in large oak barrels. The wine then rests for 18 months in oak barrels and a further 2 months in the bottle.
This Chardonnay has a golden color and a harmonious and fragrant bouquet of ripe fruit and candied peel. On the palate, it is juicy and concentrated, fruity and lean with a creamy touch and a marked acidity that makes it balanced and elegant. The finish is long and fresh. It is a wine of great character, which can remain in the cellar for well over a decade, but can also be enjoyed now with a roast chicken or pan-seared salmon.

Marjan Simcic Chardonnay Cru Selection 2023
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
