60% Chardonnay, 40% Sauvignon Blanc
GROWING
From the oldest vines in the vineyard, 35-40 years of age
Soil: Ponca, which is composed of alternating layers of marl and sandstone. A very well-drained soil, suited to the high rainfall level of the region
Organically farmed, stunningly low yield
Hand harvested
WINEMAKING
Grapes are destemmed, gently crushed with pneumatic press
2-3 months on the skins in old Slavonian oak vats (no temperature control, no sulfur added), racked and aged on lees for the next 3-4 years in large-format Slavonian oak casks, racking twice every year
Bottled without fining, filtering, or sulphites
1-2 years in bottles before release, depending on the vintage
WHAT'S GOOD?
Part of the iconic ‘’Radikon Blue’’ line. Known for the extensive time of skin contact.
Lemon and pineapple dominate the nose with hints of fresh stone fruit. Layering with a whiff of toasted nuts, brioche, and fresh herbs, notably thyme
Extraordinary wine. Mouth-puckering tannin, crunchy acidity, savory but lively. O…… also means ‘OTHERWORLDLY’
Unique Radikon-designed bottle shape, optimum for aging. Undoubtedly capable of aging gracefully for several decades in the cellar.
