Kobal Bajta Blaufränkisch Rosé, 2021

Kobal is a small boutique winery in northeast Slovenia, near the Austrian border. Winemaking in the area dates back to Roman times, if not further. This bottle looks like it tastes, with flavors of fresh raspberries & strawberries. Pleasant acidity and minerality on the palate are highlighted by the playful bubbles; this wine is naturally sparkling. The Haloze region is known for producing this wine’s less-common varietal: blaufrankisch. We recommend enjoying this with the regional cuisine, perhaps with VT pierogies and sauteed cabbage. You’ll want to chill this one and get ready for sunshine!
