About Georgio
Georgio is the younger expression of the estate Žorž that grows from the same roots. It’s so closely connected, that we are, in fact, one family.
A heritage planted by our great-grandfather, carefully tended by our grandfather & father, and now shaped by two brothers – each continuing this legacy with respect to tradition and following our own expression. With many hectares of vineyards, there is space for two visions to grow side by side.
Georgio was originally a nickname – a playful echo of Žorž that stayed over the years. When the time came to create a wine with its own identity, the name felt both personal and natural.
Georgio was born from the ambition to create an independent and distinctive style with a freedom to follow a personal vision.
Georgio is dedicated to fresh wines, with very little to no maceration. Wines are crafted to feel vibrant and refreshing. Wines that are inviting and energize, that encourage another sip, feel alive and balanced. Wines that present their lightness and are still interesting. Freshness is not a season – it is a style meant to lift up a moment.
About Estate
Our vineyards lie in the beautiful Vipava Valley in Slovenia. Here, the grapes grow generously sweet from the sun and are shaped by the strong Vipava wind – Burja which adds to their character, strength and vitality.
The estate is considered large by Slovenian standards – over 20 hectares in total. For Georgio, we carefully selected 4 hectares that are exclusively cultivated from A to Ž by the producer brother Andrej Žorž. Still, a few friendly hands contribute to certain letters along the way.
The winery is eco-certified and follows organic principles throughout the cultivation of our vineyards. This means respecting the natural balance of the soil and working with what nature provides: fertilisation is limited to approved organic fertilisers, while plant protection relies on simple elements such as copper and sulphur. We believe that caring for the land is an essential part of caring for the wine.
In every vineyard, bottle and sip, we pay tribute to those who came before us – our family, our region, and the centuries of Slovenian winemaking
Our goal is to carry this heritage beyond our vineyards, sharing a Slovenian tradition that unites people, one glass at a time, sharing what inspires us: poklon tradiciji – tribute to tradition.
