Medot Wines

Medot Wines is a pioneer in the production of sparkling wines using the classic method, mainly based on Rebula, in Goriška Brda - Slovenia, renowned as one of the world's finest regions for white wines. The wine tradition of the Simčič family from Medot Wines dates back to the early 19th century, but it was not until Zvonimir Simčič, a renowned oenologist poured all his knowledge into his family estate in the early 80s that Medot flourished and became a symbol of quality in wines from Brda. Zvonimir Simčič served as a long-term director of the Brda Cooperative wine cellar, was a member of the Order of Knights Ordo Equestris Vini Europae, and of the Italian Academy of Vine and Wine in Siena, and was nominated as honorable citizen in the Brda region. His merits for preservation of the autochthonous Rebula grape variety and the elevation of the quality of wines made from it, set an example far and wide, earning him the nickname “Father of Rebula”. Today his successors continue his legacy by remaining loyal to Rebula with the production of elegant and harmonious still wines mostly based on Rebula, as well the cellar’s flagship - classic sparkling wines characterized by longer maturation in the bottle and distinctively mineral and complex flavors with silky, elegant bubbles.
