Fojana Rebula 2017 Edi Simčič
he Fojana Rebula 2017 by Edi Simčič is a premium white wine that exemplifies the rich winemaking tradition of Goriška Brda, Slovenia. The vineyards are located at 157 meters above sea level, on hilltops with southern exposure, in rocky, opoka-rich soil that is perfectly draining yet never lacks water. Planted in 1980, these vines benefit from the unique combination of altitude, terroir, and sunlight, giving the wine exceptional depth, structure, and aromatic complexity.
Visually, the wine shows a deep, luminous golden color, more intense than the classic Rebula, reflecting the sophisticated and layered experience it offers. The nose is discreet yet highly nuanced, revealing aromas of ripe yellow apples, bread crust, salted caramel, and subtle fine oak notes, indicative of a well-considered maturation. Further aromatic evolution presents buttery nuances, cloves, and honey, demonstrating perfect harmony between freshness and structure.
On the palate, the Fojana Rebula 2017 is dry, full-bodied, and elegantly balanced, with vibrant acidity providing tension and verticality—hallmarks of Fojana wines. Its texture is thick and enveloping, giving width, depth, and volume, while a gentle phenolic touch adds complexity and character. The full-bodied profile and steadily evolving flavors make this wine harmonious and persistent, culminating in a remarkably long and memorable finish that develops beautifully over time.
The wine has excellent aging potential, thanks to its structural and aromatic characteristics, allowing it to be enjoyed even after several years while preserving its balance and intensity. Ideal with fish, seafood, shellfish, and refined cuisine, the Fojana Rebula 2017 by Edi Simčič is perfect for those seeking a complex, elegant, and distinctive white wine that appeals to both enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
