Jure & Jakob Simcic I can't stop Sauvignonasse 2019

The "young wild one" from Simcic

The grapes for the I can`t stop Sauvignonasse come from a 0.6 hectare vineyard in Kozana in the Gorisks Brda region of Slovenia. in west-facing vineyard on typical Opoka soil. The vines are believed to have been planted between the years 86 and 90.

The picked grapes were destemmed, crushed and placed in a stainless steel still. This is followed by 5-day maceration on the skins and then a gentle pressing and bottling in barique barrels. After fermentation, the wine spent two winters, about 18 months, in them, to be later brought together and bottled in spring 2021.

The Sauvignonasse, with its golden yellow color and dense texture, is an orange wine in design, but combines its characteristics wonderfully with the bravura style that we know from the classic Edi Simcic wines.

The bouquet is intense and inviting. We perceive ripe fruit. Peach, mango, lemon, floral rose notes and slightly resinous hints merge with the scent of Mediterranean herbs. Its maturation in barriques gives it a beautiful depth and elegance.

Notes of brioche, vanilla and a light note of white pepper are added. The Sauvignonasse is characterized by softness combined with freshness and minerality. A powerful, balanced connection. The I can't stop is very engaging, with an extremely elegant and persistent finish.

A great orange wine from Jure and Jakob Simcic, Edi Simcic's sons.
