Marjan Simcic Numerals One 2019 (750ml) *
Product price
Description
A co-fermentation of two white grapes, roughly four parts Sauvignon Vert to one part Ribolla Gialla (the grape known locally as rebula), this is the Numerals One bottling from Marjan Simcic. The 2019 was fermented together in Clayver ceramic vats and then settled for about a year in older 500-liter barrels, a gentle approach that favors texture and detail over overt oak. The result is a still, deep golden white built on finesse rather than force.
Expect a nose of minty freshness edged with dried flowers, spiced orange peel, and ripe nectarine. The palate is round and quietly sweet at its core, with a floral concentration that plays against the orchard fruit, while notes of honey, stone, and a whisper of clove trail the finish. What keeps it lively is a sour citrus twang that pulls saliva across a slightly chewy, staining, long close. Refined and precise, and drinking well now.

Expert Reviews
A blend of sauvignon vert and rebula, co-fermented in Clayver vats and then aged for about a year in old 500-liter barrels. Shows lots of finesse and complexity with light honey, mineral and stones. Medium body. Refined and pinpointed. Just hints of cloves and spices at the end. Drink now. (James Suckling)
The 2019 Numerals One is a deep golden wine. A blend of 80% Sauvignon Vert and 20% Ribolla Gialla, it wafts up with minty freshness as dusty dried flowers mix with spiced orange peels and nectarines. This wine is soothingly round with a pleasant inner sweetness and liquid floral concentration that contrasts its ripe orchard fruits. It is staining and long, with a sour citrus twang that forces the palate to salivate through the pleasantly chewy finale. (Vinous, October 2025)
