Maria and Michael Gross cultivate extremely steep vineyards in the Maribor and Haloze appellations. Their grapes grow almost exclusively on terraces and are processed in the small wine cellar high above the Gorca basin. The couple, who have Styrian roots, have now also moved the centre of their lives to Štajerska Slovenija.
They set a good example for their four children in terms of a conscious and open approach to their environment. Be it in the cultivation of their vineyards, in allowing processes in the cellar or in harvesting their own fruit and vegetables in their garden. They do not like dogma, are open-minded and enjoy what is and what is yet to come.
Vino Gross' most important vineyards are Iglič, Korže, Colles and Gorca - all biodynamically farmed. Maria and Michael focus on local grape varieties such as Furmint, Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling. They are known for their minimalist approach to winemaking and are founding members of the Slovenska Velika Lega, which focuses on the provenance of the wine.
