About the winemaker

"As a child, I helped on my parents' winery. Together with my mother I planted vineyards back then. If I could, I would still do all the work in the vineyards myself. Because only by standing daily in the vineyards myself you get a good sense of the vines, the vintage and ultimately the end result; the wine."

Uros valcl

9 - De Grote Hamersma

Sloveens met een Oostenrijkse touch. Uwe Schiefer, toongevend wijnmaker in Südburgenland, heeft zich ontfermd over dit domein en had het inzicht om de gedreven jonge wijnmaker Uroš Valcl aan te stellen. Om vervolgens deze de vrije hand te geven om wijnen naar zijn persoonlijke voorkeur te maken. En die vallen zeer in de smaak. We kennen ook rood (van zweigelt en blaufränkisch , dat spreekt) en cépages van chardonnay en sauvignon blanc van 'm, maar hier heeft ie - samen met de incourante welschriesling - er een drie-eenheid van gesmeed. En die waaiert breed uit, tikt ananas aan, schuift met lychees, ananast wat, snippert kruiderij en trakteert op een limoen-room-vanille-ijsje. Ontdekkingsreis waarvan het eind nog niet in zicht is.

Prekmurje, Slovenia

Although the Goričko region has a centuries-old viticultural tradition, for a long time it was a bit the underdog in Slovenian viticulture. Historical, cultural conditions and its isolated location meant that its wines were hardly ever drunk outside its own region. Therefore, in the 1960s there were few vineyards left. The vineyards that remained were planted with varieties that were very popular in the United States, of course there were exceptions such as in the village of Mačkovci. Here the traditional blaufränkisch, sauvignon blanc, silvaner and welschriesling were still planted. Even in the 1980s, when Slovenian viticulture experienced an enormous quality boost, this region remained a blind spot. It wasn't until 2007 when entrepreneur Stane Polanič and winemaker Uroš started Marof winery together, right here, and slowly but surely kissed this sleeping beauty awake.
