About the winemaker

“As a child I helped out at my parents' winery. At the time, I planted vineyards with my mother. If I could, I would now do all the work in the vineyards myself. Because only by standing in the vineyards every day can you get a feeling for the vines, the vintage and ultimately the end result; the wine."

Although the Goričko region has a centuries-old wine-growing tradition, it was a bit of a neglected child of Slovenian wine-growing for a long time. Historical, cultural circumstances and the isolated location meant that the wines were hardly consumed outside its own region. 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. The traditional Blaufränkisch, Sauvignon Blanc, Silvaner and Welschriesling were still planted here. Even in the 1980s, when Slovenian wine growing experienced a huge boost in quality, this region remained a blind spot. It wasn't until 2007 when entrepreneur Stane Polanič, together with winemaker Uroš, started Marof winery here, of all places, and slowly but surely woke up this sleeping beauty.

Geweldige wijn van een super wijnmaker. Dit jaar bezocht en de diepgang en lengte zijn onovertroffen. Prijstechnisch ook zeer interessant gelet op de super kwaliteit.

In tegenstelling tot voorgaande revieuwer ben ik veel minder enthousiast. Over de hele linie - vlak -. met weinig persoonlijkheid. Nog een tijdje laten 'ademen', maar ook dat gaf weinig soelaas. Dan komt prijs/kwaliteit in een minder zonnig daglicht te staan.

Wow! Een van de beste prijs-kwaliteitswijnen die ik ooit heb geproefd.
