Description
This wine from the Radikon family has a controversial history.
This wine is made from the grape formerly known as Tocai Friulano. It's the variety that Stanko Radikon would refer to as "Tokaj", before it was banned by law to call it so. Hence the name, Jakot (Tokaj spelt backwards).
Now, the variety has been completely revised and has been discovered to be a relative of Sauvignon Blanc known as Sauvignon Vert. It's a slightly less aromatic version of Sauvignon which makes the perfect base for an extended-maceration orange wine.
It's a wild burnt orange colour in the glass, the flavours span from Campari-esque bitter to herbal and savoury.
Lots of tannin, lots of everything, except additions, that is.
"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)
