Ripe pear, apple and lemon peel rise first, followed by a touch of white blossom, soft honey and a gentle note of oak that adds warmth without ever dominating. The palate is dry, textured and beautifully balanced, with orchard fruit, a subtle creamy richness and enough freshness to keep everything lifted and precise. There is generosity here, but it arrives wrapped in finesse, finishing medium-long, supple and quietly mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"923\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"620\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e the table is elegant, the food is generous, and the white needs calm authority.\u003cbr data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"703\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"718\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e roast chicken, grilled sea bass, creamy risotto, or richer fish dishes with butter and herbs.\u003cbr data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"815\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"845\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a sunlit hillside in Brda, where warm light, cool stone and sea air all meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003eEdi Simčič is one of the defining names of Brda, crafting wines that marry Mediterranean richness with a more refined, structured sense of balance. The estate has built its reputation on meticulous vineyard work, low yields and careful élevage, creating wines that feel both expressive and composed. This Chardonnay is a fine example of that approach, generous and textured, yet always held in line by freshness, detail and a strong sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799840412033,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2021-Chardonnay-Edi-Simcic.png?v=1780417250","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-chardonnay-edi-simcic","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
