Marof Chardonnay

Chardonnay
The oldest vines of winery Marof stand on an extinct volcano. Here, winemaker Uroš makes a chardonnay that is unlike anything we usually see, even in Burgundy; exciting, complexity, filling and unprecedented length. All without being overly heavy.

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."

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.
