The Medot estate and its vineyards can be found in the very heart of the Goriška Brda, one of the world's finest regions for white wines. Alpine and Mediterranean influences, along with the marl-rich soil known as "opoka" in this area, on steep, terraced vineyards where every grape is picked by hand, create unique conditions for producing top-quality wines. The uniqueness of the terroir is most distinctly reflected in the autochthonous Rebula variety, which has found its place among the world's best wines. Rebula's modern story is closely connected to the story of Medot, as it was here that the Father of Rebula was born.
That was Zvonimir Simčič from the Medot estate, who, after studying at the finest oenological school in Italy, returned to his hometown and took over the management of the Brda cooperative wine cellar. With his vision, knowledge, and determination, he insisted on preserving the Rebula variety and ushered it into a golden age, helping the entire region blossom and flourish. His work became an example far and wide, even in Italy, earning him the nickname the "Father of Rebula" on both sides of the border. Upon retirement, he poured all his rich experiences and knowledge into making his first sparkling wines, produced using the traditional method based on Rebula, in his home vineyard. That is how Medot was born.
Medot, now led by his grandson Simon Simčič, is dedicated to elegance and harmony, remaining loyal to Rebula. This dedication is reflected in the still wines Rebula Journey and Rebula Golden Époque, as well as in the classic sparkling wines characterized by longer maturation in the bottle and distinctively complex flavors with silky, elegant bubbles.
We will reveal all this and more during your visit to the Medot Estate. We will gladly offer you selected samples of our wines and sparkling wines, and create a unique experience for you along the Rebula journey.
Rebula has found its home in Goriška Brda, where it has thrived for centuries. Through the dedicated work and knowledge of Brda's winemakers, it has become the foundation for the most important wines in the region. During your visit to Brda, you will be able to discover the diverse expressions of Rebula, ranging from fresh and light wines to rich and aged varieties that reflect the immense wealth of the Brda land. Each wine tasting Slovenia, Goriska Brda will evoke a unique blend of stories from the past and present.
Goriška Brda offers not only exceptional winemakers but also excellent cuisine and unique natural and cultural landmarks. We invite you to visit the monument dedicated to Zvonimir Simčič, the Father of Rebula and the founder of Medot, along the way of discovering Rebula. The monument is located in the courtyard of Dobrovo Castle, one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Brda, and is just a few minutes away from the Medot Estate. This tribute to Zvonimir represents a symbol of love for the winemaking tradition that has shaped our family and the entire Brda region through generations.
