Vino Gross

Vino Gross

Anyone who visits the “Styrian region” of Slovenia is sure to fall in love with its breathtakingly beautiful landscape just as quickly as the Gross family did back then. Since 2005, this Styrian winemaking family has been cultivating the steep terraced vineyards in the wild and romantic Gorca region. Initially, the wines were produced alongside—and always somewhat in the shadow of—those from their Styrian estate. Since Michael and Maria decided to take over the Slovenian winery, they have given Vino Gross its own distinct style and identity. This has been underscored since 2016 by the distinctive label, but above all by the very honest, somewhat wild, and deeply vibrant style of the wines. Vino Gross is one to watch, because what the two of them are doing here with Furmint and other varieties is shaping the style of an entire region!

The vineyards are organically farmed, and in the tiny wine cellar, very little technology is used—but plenty of patience. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo spontaneous fermentation, with minimal intervention whenever possible, and are then aged for at least one year in large wooden barrels on the lees, without sulfur. As a result, the fruitiness of these wines is somewhat more subdued—especially when compared directly to those from Styria—but their Slovenian counterparts offer more spice, structure, and depth. With the somewhat forgotten Furmint, this small winery boasts one of the region’s most exciting grape varieties; however, its vineyards also feature other varieties typical of Stajerska Slovenija, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling, and Traminer. The region is warmer and drier than Styria, which lends the wines more power, smoothness, and charm, while the Opok soil contributes structure and subtle minerality.
