Kobal Sauvignon 2023 Review
The steep slopes of Slovenia's Haloze Hills lead to incredible tension in the wines. And this Sauvignon Blanc from a star of the region, Kobal, captures the energy and sunshine of the vineyards in the bottle. The nose offers notes of fresh citrus, passion fruit, and a saline minerality. The wine goes through 36 hours of skin maceration and lees aging, which adds a great round texture on the palate.
