Furmint, Štajerska, Slovenia

A stony, structured, fresh & fancy-feeling white from gorgeous Slovenia! Vino Gross? More like Vino DE-LISH. Slovenian stars and lovers Maria and Michael Gross grew up in Austria, but about ten years ago the vertiginous and rocky land of Styria in Slovenia AND its underdog grape furmint were calling their name. Now they make certified organic wines that are just as pristine as they are full of life! Michael says this wine is their calling card. Having a glass is like the feeling of a good idea: the light bulb suddenly shining, the mouth exclaiming, AHA! EUREKA! GREAT SCOTT! It’s bright and beaming – full of preserved lemon, grapefruit Lacroix, the fruit formally known as quince & beeswax. But ‘Gorca’ really stuns on the palate with a salty slap and linear acid akin to a thrilling roller coaster plunge. Riesling and chenin stalwarts, this one is for you especially! Pour beside a classic cheese ball – no need for it to be a holiday.
