Located in Posavje, Slovenia, the vineyards of Kobal are spread out over some of the finest winegrowing sites on the hills and slopes of the Bizeljsko-Sremic wine region. This area is a narrow strip along the northern bank of the Sava River, protected by the mountains from the harsh north winds and home to perhaps the best winegrowing conditions in the region. Kobal wines are produced from local grape varietals which are farmed in an environmentally-friendly manner.
In Slovenia, the Hungarian grape Furmint is known as Sipon. French vineyard workers, after grafting Furmint onto existing rootstock, would refer to their work as "c'est bon" (it's good), which the Slovenian's thought was the grape's name, hence, Sipon. Kobal's Furmint is light lemon in color with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and fresh apricot. The palate features an electric acidity and saline mineral profile highlighted by stone fruit, nuts and herbs. Enjoy with goose liver, cured meats or pork.
