ABOUT THIS WINE
The "Duet" blend is 80% Merlot 10% Cabernet Franc 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines planted in Ponca (mineral-rich flysch also found in Friuli) at 110m above sea level. Grapes are hand harvested before being aged in Steel for 2 months and in the bottle for 6 months.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Simčič family had been farming the hills of Goriška Brda decades before Edi and his wife Marica bottled their first vintage in 1989. Today, their son Aleks and grandsons Jure and Jakob tend 13 hectares of steep, sun-drenched slopes across three villages, farming sustainably on the region’s signature opoka soils featuring layers of calcareous sandstone, marl, and clay that lend a distinctive salinity. Yields average just 700 grams per vine, around a half-bottle per plant.
