Grof Cellar is one of the oldest cellars in the Vipava Valley and, as such, a symbol of the cultural and oenological heritage of this wine-producing region. It was built during the time of Count Ivan Cobenzl, who purchased the estate in Šmarje in 1574. The estate remained in the ownership of the Cobenzl family until its extinction in 1810.

The CRU white wines are produced through spontaneous fermentation, meaning each wine carries
its own unique and authentic story. Aging in oak barrels adds complexity and depth, while the fullness and smoothness of the wine are achieved through malolactic fermentation and aging ‘sur lie’ until bottling. The minimal intervention approach in the production process preserves the natural character of the wine and highlights the characteristics of the Vipava terraces and the vineyard’s terroir.
