Still getting your bearings with Slovenia?  It’s cool, us too! Bizeljsko is Slovenia’s long-time haven for bubbly wines thanks to its climate and a local variety called Rumeni Plavac that does very nicely for sparklers.  The Kelhar family are perhaps the region’s greatest innovators, working hand in hand with central Euro wine guru Kreso Petrekovic to translate their special hillside vineyards into some really transcendent stuff.  They’re bread and butter have been pretty tame reflections of place aimed towards the local market but these days they get to really play, churning out some joyful, highly stylized natural wines meant for us natural wine explorers to get lost in.  Super high integrity here with a commitment to long aging, skin macerations for whites and tingling, lively sparkling wines. In short, really really great wine with lots of heart.
