▸ 35-year vines. Marl terraces.

▸ Quince. Melon. Acacia.

▸ Quietly serious skin-contact.

When someone asks for something different, Slovenian skin-contact Furmint from 35-year vines on Haloze’s marl terraces answers. Fifteen days on skins and wild yeast leave it amber, dry and slightly tannic—smart with grilled chicken thighs hot off the coals.

Bojan Kobal farms 35-year Furmint vines on Haloze’s 200–400 m marl terraces—some of Slovenia’s steepest hillsides. Roots macerates roughly 15 days on skins, ferments with native yeast and spends nine months in used French oak before bottling unfined. Expect quince, ripe melon and a saline finish.
