MARO Wine
The wine-growing district of the Štajerska Region is the largest in Slovenia, with the Ljutomer-Ormož Hills in Prlekija being its north-eastern part. This is the land of hundreds of terraced hills, wind-rattles (klopotec), thermal springs and spas, and rich cuisine, as well as cultural, natural and ethnological heritage. It represents the centre of the Slovenian wine-growing tradition dating back to the 4th century bc.
The most favourable climatic conditions with more than 200 days of sunshine a year, cold nights and soil rich in minerals of the once Pannonian Sea, which curved around the current wine-growing hills as islands and deposited fertile, mineral-rich layer of soil – a mixture of sand and clay perfect for viticulture. All the vineyards are on steep slopes, covered with grass, which prevents soil erosion and facilitates vine cultivation.
Vineyards cover the most beautiful positions of the Ljutomer-Ormož Hills: Strezetina and Nunska graba, near the famous Jeruzalem, and are considered to be in the top
3% of the best vineyard locations in the world. Hand-picked grapes provide the highest quality basis for producing excellent wines.
Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Yellow Muscat, and a local variety called Furmint grow in these marvellous and fertile vineyards.
Rebirth of a renowned wine family
The MARO Wine Cellar (MAša ROots) represents the tradition of renowned winemaking family from the 17th century, Mursa.
Descendant of the family, Maša Samec continues the tradition of winemaking while respecting the natural features of excellent vineyard positions, preserving original characteristics of the grape varieties and taking good care of the wine through the process of maturation in the wine cellar.
The luxury of fruit, floral and plant aromas.

In terms of taste, the wines are vibrant due to refreshing acids, enriched with an appropriate alcoholic strength, full-bodied and rich in extracts, harmonious and pleasantly drinkable.
The Rich Tradition of the MURSA Wine-Making Family
The Mursa family tree reflects a creative image of individuals through the centuries who in one way or another contributed to the development of society, its economic, political and cultural life.
A notable figure is Josip Mursa who left his mark as an excellent businessman in the 19th century. His role model was his widowed mother Marija, a very enterprising and determined woman. She managed the estate and vineyards and exhibited her wines at the world wine exhibition in Vienna, Austria in 1873.
In 1889, Josip Mursa established the first factory of cement products and mosaic tiles in the then Yugoslavia, and protected his innovation of
a waterproof concrete roofing tile at the patent office in Vienna, Austria. At the same time, he successfully managed his 150 ha large estate where he was a pillar of society through his innovative spirit. Thirty-five hectares of land were vineyards at selected positions and numerous wine cellars with innovative wine-making technology. Josip Mursa bottled his wine and sparkling wine varieties in the first half of the 20th century and exported them to Hungary and Austria. His wines were awarded in exhibitions and quality assessment events.
Maša Samec has taken over the heritage of her grandfather, the architect Dušan Samec, a grandson of Josip Mursa, with great respect and responsibility.
The synergy of respect for the tradition of past generations, knowledge, natural processing of grapes and the preservation of natural harmony of taste and aroma is presented in the wine brand — MURSA.
