Vino Gross

Štajerska Slovenija | Gorca | Podlehnik

Michael Gross is a young, fifth generation winemaker entrusted with opening a new chapter of his family’s story in Štajerska Slovenija (Styrian Slovenia). In 2004, luck brought the Gross family prime vineyards in Gorca and Colles, some 60 km (40 miles) south of their home in Ratsch, Austria. With climate, terrain, and varieties that are strikingly similar to southern Styria’s, it was natural for the family to put down roots here. Through farming organically, hand harvesting, working with spontaneous fermentations, malo, extended lees contact, and bottle aging, these wines are lively, engaging introductions to a region in thrilling revival.

Vino Gross Hišno Vino [Vol. III]

It astonishes and polarises. Each volume of our house wine distinguishes itself from its predecessors. Hišno vino celebrates our love for experimenting. It is a playground for fresh ideas. Expectations of quality are ever increasing. Our house wine serves as a platform of successful experimenting. It is merely the number of the volume (Vol.) that finds prolonged continuation. Selection of the grape variety and production are uninhibited. Whether Furmint, Laški Risling or cuvée, be it skin-fermented, semi-carbonic maceration or other unconventional wine-making techniques – we take the liberty of continuously trying something new. And present successful achievements in form of Hišno Vino.
