Simcic
The year 2008 was a milestone for Simčič winery – Marjan, representing the fifth generation of winemakers, since in 1860 Jožef Simčič bought first pieces of Brda land and planted the oldest vineyards, becomes the pillar of the winemaking from all points of view.
Marjan`s story, which was told and implemented through his wines in the past 20 years, in the year 2008 was brought to such perfection to present to public the result of his devotion – a new line of top quality wines ”Opoka”.
Along the wines’ structure we can follow the intertwining of long-lasting winemaker’s experience, signature of his character and all the best offered by the Brda terroir. In Brda jargon Opoka means marl of aeolian sediment very poor in organic structure, whereas very rich with mineral salts.
Fermentation in contact with skins of berries (maceration) for 14 days in 5,000 Litre stainless steel tanks (fermenter); without selected yeasts. Softly pressed with pneumatic pressure.
12 months in 3.200 Litre conical shaped oak barrels and 12 months in 225 Litre French oak barrels (barrique). In bottle: at least 2 months.

Vinarija Simčić
Godina 2008. bila je prekretnica za vinariju Simčič – Marjan, koja predstavlja petu generaciju vinara, budući da je 1860. godine Jožef Simčič kupio prve komade brdske zemlje i zasadio najstarije vinograde, postaje stup vinarstva sa svih strana.
Marjanova priča koju je kroz njegova vina pričao i provodio u proteklih 20 godina, 2008. je doveden do takvog savršenstva da javnosti predstavi rezultat svoje predanosti – novu liniju vrhunskih vina ”Opoka”. .
Uz strukturu vina možemo pratiti ispreplitanje dugogodišnjeg iskustva vinara, potpisa njegovog karaktera i svega najboljeg što nudi briški terroir. Opoka u briškom žargonu označava lapor eolskog sedimenta vrlo siromašne organske strukture, a vrlo bogate mineralnim solima.
