Kobal
Bajta Haloze Belo Dry White
Styria, Slovenia
Popped and poured; no formal notes. This is a fun, spontaneously fermented skin-contact blend of Pinot Gris, Welchriesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The 2021 Kobal “Bajta” dry-white wine pours a pale copper color and is redolent of white and pink tree flowers and stone fruits: apricot and peaches with some raspberries, orange citrus and light baking spices. The wine is lightly tannic with a slightly waxy texture and nice acidity. This paired really well with a fancy riff on a hard-boiled egg with falafel, tomato and feta cheese. Drink now.

Very surprising wine. Succulent peach and white flower aromas that are absolutely heavenly. Waxy texture, very intense and persistent flavors. Peach, chalk, mint leaf elements. Really fun and enjoyable

Unique flavor. Looks like a Cider when poured but doesn't taste like a Cider. It is good with a Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Love this wine. Had previously tried the 2019 vintage, the 2020 vintage was a bit lighter but still smooth and flavorful.

May 14th, 2023Beautiful orange color, semi-dry and bittersweet on its own, smoothens and sweetens when paired with a citric/acid based meal. We paired it with a warm, lemony, tuna Niçoise salad which elevated both the wine and the meal.
