Radikon O...... (Oslavje) 2020 1000ml

A lengthy skin ferment of 40% chardonnay, 30% pinot grigio and 30% sauvignon blanc from one of the legends of natural wine and orange winemaking. A combination of high acidity, with grippy tannin, this savoury skin contact wine is incredible and pairs perfectly with the heat of szechuan ... or a Zinger Burger ... try it and thank us later.

A note on the name, from Sasa: In 1992 Stanko Radikon started to make this blend, calling it “Oslavje”. As all other producers were using the same grapes for their white blend, Stanko’s aim was to share this name and promote Oslavia as a “cru”, so he hadn’t registered the brand. However, there was no unity in this project and he remain the nly one using this name. Then, in May 2019, following a new UE regulation, the government decided that we weren’t allowed to use the term “Oslavje” anymore (for a wine, if we were producing any other food or beverage we were allowed). To us there remains a void, a cancellation (of 27 years of history), a wound in our heart, which we have stigmatized in "O......" with so many points as the unmentionable letters.
