2022 Kobal Bajta Blaufränkisch Pet Nat Rose - Podravje, Slovenia (750ml)

Kobal Bajta is a wild, unique and refreshing ‘pét-nat’ made from Blaufränkisch, an indigenous Eastern European varietal. The grapes are dry-farmed on the steep, wind-swept slopes of Sajerska, hand picked and left to ‘bleed’ for 4 hours, resulting in a gorgeous, pale pink hue. The natural fermentation starts in tank and continues in the bottle with the aid of wild microflora. This lively, raw, juicy bubbly looks cloudy, but it’s bright on the inside with a yeasty bouquet and notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit with a dash of bitters. Enjoy it chilled with artisanal cheese and charcuterie or stronger seafood dishes like mackerel or mussels.
