Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service.
Marjan Simčič is a family-run organic winery located in the Slovenian Collio (Brda). Its vineyards extend between Slovenia and Italy. Here Marjan, a descendant of Jozef who founded the company in 1860, produces excellent quality wines thanks to the typical soils of these hills and meticulous (and mostly manual) work in the vineyard and cellar.
The Chardonnay grapes are selected and harvested manually from approximately 40-year-old vines, grown organically and located on the limestone hills of Collio, which enjoy southeast exposure. After the harvest, fermentation occurs spontaneously in oak barrels with maceration on the skins. The finished wine then remains for approximately 2 years in large oak barrels (30% new) and then a further 4 months in the bottle.
Opoka Chardonnay has an intense golden yellow color with reflections tending towards amber. The nose is rich and intense, ripe and fragrant with aromas of dried fruit and honey, melted butter, and sweet spices. There are also mineral hints that return on the palate. It is a powerful and velvety wine with good acidity and a marked savory streak. It's fresh and persistent. Excellent with mushroom risotto, white meat, and medium-aged cheeses.

Marjan Simcic Chardonnay Opoka 2022
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
