Description
The "Radikon Blue" labels denote the cuveés that are given the most extreme skin contact and and longest maturation before release.
Here is Sasa Radikon's phenomenal blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit spent up to four months on skins before seeing the inside of an old barrel. It then takes three years before the wine sees a bottle.
It's a slow, painstaking process to create these wines, and if you are a fan of deeply textural, tactile, orange wines, it was well worth the wait. If you want to see Friulian orange wine at its most extreme, this is the last stop on the line.
Hop aboard, this won't be available for long.
"Radikon’s wines, together with neighbour and erstwhile colleague Joško Gravner, achieved a remarkable consistency and character with their slightly wild, deep, autumnal flavours and beguiling complexity."
- Simon Woolf (Decanter)
"It’s a remarkable site, fit snug into the typical rolling hills and dales of the region, tended daily by hand to ensure greatest health of fruit and optimum (low) yield. A family affair where son Sasa and father Stanko ebb and flow from winery to vineyard and back again."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
