Description
Slatnik sees the marriage of two grapes grown on the Radikon slopes in Oslavia: Chardonnay & Sauvignon Vert (or the variety formerly known as Tocai Friulano).
Biodynamic farming underpins all that happens in the Radikon cellar and it makes for a sturdy base on which Sasa can build his meticulous and curious creations. This spends a shorter time on skins than the wines bottled under the Blue Radikon label, and it is a much shorter time before it is released to the public, however, the impact of the wine is none too different.
The key here is the freshness and liveliness that is rarely associated with Chardonnay made with skin contact. Typically orange Chardonnays can lack a little drive, certainly not the case in the hands of Sasa Radikon.
It's a full-noise amber wine that will thrill all lovers of the wine style.
"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)

What can I say about this wine that isnt already said?
Its probably the great orange wine of all time in my opinion.
80% chardy, 20% Tokai (friuliano) most years, its got all the best characteristics of chardy with a luxurious mouth feel that goes for days. Its got energy unlike any other wine, you will feel the terroir and the land in each mouthful.
Truly a wine everyone must try at least once. Its going to show you why people get excited about orange wine.
