Kobal Wines ‘Sivi Pinot’ White 2024

$21.00

Location: Slovenia, Štajerska

Winemaker: Bojan Kobel

Grapes: (Skin Contact) Pinot Grigio

Soil: sand, clay, marl

Winemaking: Kobal Pinot Gris is made from perfectly ripe grapes shaped by both old school and modern technological approaches in the cellar. Some of the wine is barrel fermented with no added yeast to preserve local terroir, and some is cold-fermented for varietal character and freshness. Extended 36 hour skin maceration and lees ageing are responsible for the wine’s depth, structure and salmon-pink color. Following fermentation, the wine was blended and matured for 6 months in stainless steel tanks on lees. 5% of the wine was matured in used 225l oak barrels for 1 month, which gives it a touch of elegance and sophistication. Wine was coarsely fined and filtered before bottling. 

From the Importer Vinum SloCro: Cloudy and amber, Bajta Belo opens with Thanksgiving baking aromas – nutmeg, cinnamon and orange peel, but the palate is totally dry, with a tannic structure, chewy texture and a soft, relaxed finish. Serve with mushroom dishes, casseroles, pork, chicken, turkey, pumpkin or squash soup and lobster mac and cheese.

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.
