Winemaker: Bojan Kobal

In Northeast Slovenia, near Austrian border, the Kobal family is continuing the wine tradition that has existed in this region since Roman times.  It's a special place where the steep, rocky slopes force the roots of the vines to go deep into the ground to find water, thus absorbing that minerality we love.  Owner and winemaker, Bojan Kobal, is a true scientist of his craft.  

Here yellow Muscat, a super aromatic local varietal, shines in the pet'nat style, where the soft bubbles amplify the aromatic notes (mango, guava, white flowers and citrus) and mineral finish. Cloudy and gleaming like brushed gold, this pretty wine is vibrant, juicy and refreshing, making it the perfect summer refresher for hot days (mornings even).
