The Kobal family’s small estate lies in the heart of Haloze, with 14 hectares of their property under vine, many planted on steep slopes and southern facing, and some as high as 400 meters above sea level.

The winemaking process begins with careful grape selection and all wines see a maceration during fermentation: Whether it be cold maceration for the classic line, often limited to 24-72 hours, to maintain the fresh aromatic and mineral elements from the skins, or a warm maceration in small open-top fermenters or directly in barrels to express extended skin contact, spending anywhere from 14 – 48 days on the skins. All Roots and Bajta wines exclusively undergo spontaneous fermentations; All wines are then aged on fine lees in inox tanks or oak barrels, until minimal sulfur is added, only at bottling.
