2024 Vintage, Kobal Roots showcases Blaufränkisch through the low-intervention winemaking of Slovenian producer Bojan Kobal, whose vineyards lie among the steep, marl-rich hills of Štajerska. This naturally expressive red emphasizes the grape’s juicy dark and red fruit, peppery spice, savory character and energetic acidity. The Roots wines are built around native fermentation, minimal cellar intervention and a clear connection to the region’s distinctive soils, giving this bottling plenty of character while keeping it fresh and highly drinkable. A versatile Slovenian red for charcuterie, grilled sausages, pork, mushrooms or a slight chill before serving.
