Goriška Brda Triton Lex 2008
2008 Edi Simcic 'Triton Lex' from Goriska Brda in Slovenia. Equal blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Ribolla Gialla grown on clay-limestone soil. Natural farming and winemaking, growing of weeds in the vineyard, no spraying, dry farming, hands off in the winery, no adjustments, no temperature control during fermentation and little addition of sulphites before bottling. Resulting in a wine with a golden-yellow colour (from Ribolla Gialla, couple of hours skin contact and age) hinting towards delicate aromas of yellow peach, toffee, butterscotch and nuts combined with a soft, caressing mouthfeel. Not overly complex, but a joy to drink any day of the week! — 8 years ago

2007, Edi Simcic, Duet Lex, Goriska Brda, Slovenia. Merlot/Cab. Aged for 10 years in barrel before bottling. The new oak is there but not overpowering and well integrated. This is a big wine that paired well with ribeyes. — 8 years ago
