WHY DO WE REACTIVATE THE OLD VINEYARDS?

The vines of the abandoned vineyards were planted between 20 and 50 years ago – Their roots reach deep into the mineral-dense layers of the soil.

With its long roots the vine is able to get more water during dry periods and can reach the nourishing minerals deep in the mountain soil.

Even though those old plants didn’t get any attention and care for so many years they still grow some wild grapes that taste great!

That shows us that the vines are genetically very strong and that our terroir is able to provide the right circumstances for grapes to grow.

HOW DO WE REACTIVATE THE OLD VINEYARDS?

We start by stabilising the terraces to avoid any landslides. We then rebuild and renew the tripods to resurrect the vine to give the plant more stability and space to grow.

After one full year of growth we slowly start cutting back the vine using our traditional method.

Another year later the plant starts growing grapes and we can harvest for the first time.

Three to five years later we can open and enjoy a bottle of wine made from grapes which haven’t been tasted for decades

It is always magic and an honour for us to share this experience with you, the wine lover, who enjoys really great wine!

REVIEWS & RATINGS

"A 40-year-old vineyard is dedicated to the Ribolla Gialla cru project in Gonjace (Brda), a particularly suitable parcel that gives the wine an elegant, fine, harmonious character."

FRANCESCA FIOCCHI

Wine Journalist

"What I think about those wines? They are genuine and elegant. They are grown on the historic soil in Brda, Slovenia."

Stefano Cosma

WINE HISTORIAN

"When trying these wines you have to acknowledge that you can't get this quality when using machines and chemicals. These wines are honest, pure, clear."

VEIT HEINICHEN

Writer

"These wines from this terroir taste like very good French and Italian wines 3-4 times the price."

"After reading about Brda and this part of Slovenia I thought I would give it a try – and they are really fantastic – a mixture between the freshness of the north combined with the glamour of southern wines"

"I have been making wines myself when I was younger using similar technics. So happy to see that you are giving those old vines a new life. I really like your innovations and I think you are a blue-print of an innovative vineyard"

OUR WINES

"I love good quality Rosé wine very much but my wife doesn't like Rosé at all because she thinks they are too sweet. But this one she enjoyed a lot because it is on the dry side of things compared to the Rosé wines you would get in supermarkets"

CUVÉE ROSÉ 2019
The shooting star

Introducing the perfect blend of creativity and craftsmanship resulting in a Cuvée you will love. Our first Rosé wine is made out of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Blue – it tastes like a white wine with the depth of a red.

"Nice butter taste, perfect to pair with veggies, tempura, and fish, stable after loosing temperature: summer wine for an aperitif"

RIBOLLA GIALLA 2018
State of art

An ancient indigenous grape grown on a 40-year-old vine makes up for the top of our current selection. The wine tastes like no other white wine – a unique aroma of the Mediterranean.

CHARDONNAY 2018
The Signature

Connecting the dots of historical links between France and Collio Brda. One could see this wine as the signature under a letter of appreciation to the grand French tradition.

"It definitely has creamy flavours of brioche and tastes like pineapple with honey. Overall this Chardonnay is very crisp and has a long lingering finish."

PINOT GRIGIO 2018

This Grauburgunder or Pinot Gris rounds up our selection of this year and proves to be an essential of any wine collection.

"Le Pinot Grigio est excellent, frais, vif, notes de fruit blanc, très équilibré. Meilleur que le pinot gris de Brandino Brandolini que je prends d’habitude. BRAVO!"

ZALA 2018

A playful Malvasia wine, light and cheerful. Mineral and fresh light floral flavours.

"Expérience très positive pour le Zala. Nous l'avons bu sur un agneau confit à l'indienne, mais peu épicé. Le vin est bien sur, à son top une fois oxygené ,et la meilleure association a été avec un bon roquefort."

ROSSO 2018

A pure and classic Cabernet Sauvignon that shows that this terroir could indeed also be known for great red-wines.

"This red is exactly how I love red-wine. Full flavour from the beginning and an intense taste on the tongue. We combined it with an aperitif and it was just fantastic."

"After reading about Brda and this part of Slovenia I thought I would give it a try. I only drink Reds so my choice was quite limited but this Cabernet they made looks, tastes and feels like a +30€ bottle.

"With or without food - This wine always tastes good. A full Cabernet Sauvignon from a wonderful but neglected terroir. A real gem."

Reviews & Comments

"It's quite hard to judge a wine from a picture or an online-shop. You can't taste it, right? so after reading about what the guys here are doing I gave it a try and order the this mixed box. I mean, my taste is quite particular with wines but I like more than half of them. The other wines I liked less are the ones my girlfriend liked a lot so it's fine. My favourite is surely the Chardonnay but I also found my passion for their Ribolla Gialla which I've never tasted before."

"What a great selection and this only from one vineyard. All of the wines taste great - each of them are different and have their own character. Incredible how you can taste the different grapes and terroirs. I ordered one as a very late birthday gift for my sister and it arrived in less than 2 days. just so fast. thanks again guys from Marinic to make it happen.

"Why I was buying all those bad wines from my wine-club for more than 100.- each month when I could have this from you guys for a price which is just crazy low. You really should think about raising your prices because your tasting box for less than 100euros is better than anything I got from my wine-club in years. and yes, you are also a lot faster shipping, that's for sure. Once again, great job - I love the Rosé by the way."

"First of all: I'm not an expert, I'm not a sommelier - I'm just someone who like to drink really good wine with my friends. my favourite wine before is around 15.- in the supermarket. then I saw this ad on facebook about the directly from the vinery concept of marinic so I wanted to find out myself. And yes, it's not only that their wines taste overall better than my old favourite one but you can really also feel that they taste like those which are super expensive.

"What should I say? It's a no-brainer.. I always get the tasting box so I have something at home to impress people when I have guests over. My boyfriend is doing his WSET sommelier course and even he likes the wines a lot and he always says: anything below 30euro a bottle is not wine.. what a snop...
