Kosovec Skrlet 2021
$20.99
Skrlet is a white-wine grape from the continental part of Croatia and is sanctioned for use in three Croatian wine regions: pokuplje, prigorje-bilogora and moslavina, all three of which lie inland of the capital Zagreb. Only a tiny handful of wineries currently produce Skrlet wines, as the variety is still struggling to recover from near-extinction in the second half of the 20th Century. Driven by his passion on hands off winemaking, winemaker Ivan Kosovec made this ordinary, almost forgotten, table grape into something extraordinary; finding a brilliant intersection of the bright and lively expression of Škrlet, along with some beautifully textured flavors. The palate has rich notes of apple, peach, honey blossom, and touches of clove and a beautifully balanced acidity.
Rodica Refosk 2022
$19.99
The Rodica Family Organic Winery is located in the heart of Slovenian Istria, in the village of Truške. Their farming practice includes using only natural fertilizer produced from natural manure and the vineyards are worked without any irrigation. No sulfites are used at bottling. Made from 100% refošk, it has a palate of blackberry and plum with spicy fruit and velvety tannins. A wine that’s delicious with pulled pork, smoked brisket, and Asian dishes with spicy sauces.
Kobal Blaufrankisch 2023
$18.99
Kobal is a small boutique located in the Haloze appellation of Štajerska Slovenia. Since Roman times, Haloze has been considered one of the top wine-growing sites in Central Europe. Blaufränkisch has, for the most part, stayed close to its original home. Aside from a few acres planted in both old and new world regions, the varietal is mainly cultivated in Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia and is thought of as the ‘pinot noir of Eastern Europe’. This bottle from Kobal is fermented with native yeasts, is unfiltered ,and given a low dose of sulfur right before bottling.
Deep with spicy dark fruit earth dusty tannin. Try with smoked ham, roasted pork chops, roasted chicken, burgers, and hearty stews.
