2022 | Kobal 'Roots' Sipon-Furmint | Podravje (Case 6x750ml)

The nose shows a strong note of candied ginger, with pineapple, melon, apple, szechuan pepper, fleur de sel and basalt-tinted minerality. The palate is lean and focused, sizzling with acidity the way Furmint wines always do, and a talc-like dusting of tannin to frame a rush of apple, pear, and salty minerality that gives way to a crisp, delicious finishing impression of orange sherbet with a dash of pepper. A bright and invigorating wine with impressive nuance, put this together with rich polenta recipes, sausage, or the traditional Slovenian dumpling Idrijski Zlikrofi.
