About Edi Simčič

Marica and Edi Simčič tended 3.5 hectares of Brda vineyards for decades before bottling their first 3,000 bottles in 1989. Their son Aleks took the reins in the 1990s and built the house brand, and his sons Jure and Jakob now carry the story into a third generation, with 13 hectares, 90,000 vines and about 65,000 bottles a year. Book a tasting: the Klasik pours six samples from the Klasik and Lex lines, while the Premium offers eight, including Single Vineyard wines and older vintages in magnum. Both include a cellar tour and snacks, and last about 90 minutes.

Our take

  • Third generation at work
