NATURAL WINES BY VINO GROSS
Vino Gross is the Slovenian project of Michael Gross, who used to run Weingut Gross in Austria's Südsteiermark with his brother. He started here in 2016, on land in Haloze his father bought in 2005, and now also farms around Maribor. The Haloze terraces sit at 250 to 490 metres, some with gradients over 65%, on opok, a limy marl under a thin topsoil that makes the vines root deep. Furmint is the star, alongside Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling.
Whites get two hours on skins at most, then ferment in large oak casks and spend a year on their lees. Around 70% of the wines are bottled without added sulphur. Start with Haloze, the regional wine, then the single-vineyard Furmints Gorca and Iglič, which show the salty, precise side of the grape. Colles is a single-parcel Sauvignon Blanc, and Penina is their sparkling Furmint. Their wines are exciting and pure and we highly recommend you try them.
