Kobal wines come from the Haloze appellation in Štajerska Slovenia. Since the Roman times, Haloze has been considered one of the top wine-growing sites in Central Europe. The soil of these steep slopes consists predominantly of marl, and the roots of vines that average 35 years old go deep into the ground to absorb minerality. Owner and winemaker, Bojan Kobal, is the true scientist of his craft. The amazing variety of styles of wines he produces shows that there is nothing he cannot do. The lineup of fresh Kobal whites is Bojan’s expression of Haloze fruit and varietal character. The Bajta wines are all fermented with natural yeasts only. From juicy and playful Pet Nats to the mature skin contact Belo – there is a delicious wine here for any occasion.

Vinification: 15 days warm skin maceration followed by spontaneous fermentation with no added yeast. Aged for 9 months in used French oak, with no fining or filtration, and only minimal sulfur addition used at blending.

Tasting Notes: Rose amber in color with intense aromatics that jump out of the glass of lemongrass, grapefruit peel, and gardenia. The wine delivers a beautifully layered structure on the palate, lively but juicy of lychee, spiced grapefruit, lifted by zesty acidity.

Bojan made his mark in winemaking with his award‐winning Sauvignon Blanc, and this skin contact expression is no exception to his excellence with the varietal. Capturing the intense aromatics and fruit components of the varietal, while maintaining a beautiful and enjoyable balance of freshness and acidity for a skin contact white.
