Radikon Slatnik White Blend 2021

Product description

Slatnik by Radikon is a full-bodied, complex white wine made mostly of Chardonnay grapes (80%) and Friulano grapes (20%), vinified in red in wooden vats and matured in oak barrels for 18 months. With undertones of golden exotic fruit and resin, the scents are intense. It has a smooth, fresh mouthfeel with tannic and salty aromas.

"In our vineyards the yields are very low (4 to 5 bunches for each vine), and the grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes only at optimal ripeness. In the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed and left on their skins in wooden vats for a long time. During this maceration we do 3 to 4 stirrings per day. In other words, we use the same vinification process for white wines as those used for red wines. The material extracted during this maceration allows us to produce wines without preservatives, so we are absolutely certain that they are 100% wine. The wine is aged for three years in large wooden barrels and then for one more year in bottle. It may be slightly unclear because it is not filtered in any way. Because of the skin maceration, it is deeply and intensely colored. For tasting our wines at their best, we suggest drinking the wines at 15° C/ 59 F, and do not place them in the refrigerator for a longer period." - Stanislao (Stanko) Radikon, Winemaker
