What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Edi Simcic Duet Lex 2020 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a other wine from Primorska, Slovenia, but its grape variety is not yet confirmed in the catalogue.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
No cultivar temperature guidance is shown until the grape is identified.
Official geographic-register context
What the official register confirms about Primorska
BottlePicker found an exact region-name match in an official wine or spirits register. This establishes useful regional context; it does not by itself prove that this particular bottle is entitled to the designation. Check the producer label and specification for that claim.

Historical Texas label approval
One official label approval has the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

Cellar for up to 11 years. Decant 1 hour before serving. Edi Simcic founded his namesake winery in Slovenia’s Gorizia Hills in 1990 with just 9 acres of land. Over the years the family has slowly added additional vineyards to expand the estate to 30 acres and Edi has been joined in the business by his son, Aleks, who is a talented young winemaker. Set right by the Italian border, this region is one of the country’s most prized winemaking areas thanks to the Mediterranean climate and sheltered location which protects from the powerful Bora winds. Edi and Aleks Simcic pursue a bold yet traditional approach to winemaking which includes extended ageing in oak and fermentation in oak for both their red and white wines. Their Duet Lex is a punchy Bordeaux-style blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The young wine is aged in new oak barrels for up to 42 months to create an intense and multi-layered style with rich fruit flavours seasoned with baking spice and toasty notes from the maturation process. Cassis, smoky tobacco and cigar box spice define the nose while the first sip reveals a generous full body, soft tannins and a defined structure that will respond well to extended ageing in the cellar. The complex layers of dark fruit, spice and earthy hints will continue to develop over time and are best appreciated by opening and decanting the bottle one hour before you plan to serve the wine.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
