Marjan Simcic Cru Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (750ml) *
Product price
$40.99
Description
Sauvignon Blanc takes on a more textural, serious cast in the Brda hills of western Slovenia, along the Italian border, and this Cru Selection bottling from Marjan Simcic shows that side of the grape. The 2022 vintage leans toward nuance and restraint rather than the loud herbal snap the variety is known for elsewhere.
Look for a subtle lift of sage and just-ripe kiwi, with a fine curl of ginger threading through. The feel is silken, carrying a gentle inner sweetness that plays against citrus-edged green apple, and the tension builds toward a finish marked by tart lime. There is a chewy concentration here that keeps the palate watering and reaching for the next sip.

Expert Reviews
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Cru Selection is nuanced and refined with a whiff of sage and young kiwi complemented by shavings of ginger. It is silken in feel with balanced inner sweetness and citrus-laced green apple fruit that add tension toward the close. The 2022 leaves a chewy concentration with a resonance of tart lime that keeps the mouth watering for more. (Vinous, October 2025)
