Tasting Notes
If it's Radikon, expect Radikal! The Oslavje is a blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, so shows lighter and more delicate flavours when compared to the other orange wines in the range. Don't underestimate this wine though, it's still one hell of a mouthful and will daze and confuse even the biggest natural wine fans out there. Interesting and different. Drink with food always. - Chris L
Immediately after opening, it leads with delicate rich notes of toffee, fig and some hazelnut with white peach and slowly develops aromas of mandarin, burnt butter and supple calfskin. This has a succulent body, nice warmth with chalky fine-grained tannins. With some more air this wine completely opens up and becomes more sharp and focused - bruised apple and mulch begin to surface. After roughly 3 hours after opening, this wine ends with a long, earthy orange finish. Radikon is a wild ride. - Aaron C.
Radikon is a legendary family estate near Oslavia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, founded by Stanko Radikon in the late 1970s and now carried forward by his son Saša. The estate has played a pioneering role in the modern orange wine movement, reviving traditional methods of extended skin contact—sometimes lasting several months—to create powerful, textured whites and select reds that defy convention.
Farming is fully organic, yields are remarkably low, and vineyard parcels of Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Merlot and Pignolo are planted densely on steep, mineral-rich soils. In the cellar, grapes are destemmed and macerated in large oak vats, fermented naturally, and aged in old wood with minimal or no sulfur—favoring authenticity and clarity over polish.
Radikon’s wines are renowned for their intense amber color, layered aromatics, racy tannin structure, and extraordinary aging potential. Each bottle is an immersive expression of Friuli’s rugged terrain and Stanko’s radical vision, now evolving under Saša’s subtle refinements and continued commitment to terroir and innovation.
