Štajerska Region of Slovenia
THE HOME OF EXCELLENT SLOVENIAN WINES
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.
During the Crusades, knights named the place after their homeland – Jerusalem – due to excellent wines and hospitality of the locals. The wishing bell in the Our Lady of Sorrows church reminds us of them.
The Ljutomer-Ormož Hills captivate with their idyllic landscape. You rarely see the beauty and friendliness of nature so well combined with the kindness and hospitality of people as in the Ljutomer-Ormož district. This vibrant land has given its character to the local people.
WHAT IS THE SPECIAL FEATURE OF WINES OF THIS SMALL WINE-GROWING AREA, FROM WHICH IN MEASURED QUANTITIES THE BOTTLES ROAMED TO EUROPEAN COURTS IN THE PAST CENTURIES?
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.
There are many grape varieties growing on this soil and thriving in the favourable climate. Due to the favourable warm and dry Pannonian climate, in addition to excellent harmonious dry and semi-dry wines and varieties, the land also offers premium semi-sweet and sweet wines of special qualities, such as late harvest, selection, grape selection, ice wine and dry grape selection (different levels of natural sugar content).

The Rich Tradition of the Mursa Wine-Making Family
THE FIRST WRITTEN RECORDS OF THE MURSA FAMILY DATE BACK TO 1609. THEIR WINE-GROWING AND WINE-MAKING OPERATIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN THE ‘GORNIŠKI REGISTER KRIŽNIŠKE KOMENDE VELIKA NEDELJA’ REGISTER FROM 1613.
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.
