What is this wine?

Radikon is one of the pioneering names in Friuli-Venezia Giulia for skin-contact, natural-style wines. The family estate, based in Oslavia, is now run by Saša Radikon, continuing the groundbreaking work of his father, Stanko. Oslavje is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio, fermented on the skins for several weeks and aged in large oak casks before bottling, without fining or filtration. The 1-liter format is a Radikon signature, intended for sharing.

Why get this wine?

Radikon helped define the modern orange wine movement, and Oslavje remains one of its most iconic cuvées. The 2020 vintage offers both structure and freshness, with complex aromatics that reward time in the glass. The 1L bottle emphasizes conviviality, making it perfect for gatherings and for those looking to experience benchmark skin-contact wine at its source.

What does this wine taste like?

Deep amber, with notes of dried apricot, orange peel, herbs, spice, and tea-like tannins. Textured and complex, balancing savory grip with lively acidity.

When should you drink this wine?

Drink now or hold for 5–7 years as the flavors deepen. Best enjoyed with bold, savory foods—aged cheeses, roasted poultry, or Middle Eastern and North African dishes. Serve slightly cool and give it air to reveal its layers.

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...

60% Chardonnay/40% Sauvignon Blanc. All of Radikon's whites are made in the same way: the organically farmed, stunningly low-yield, hand-harvested fruit is destemmed and gently crushed with a pneumatic press. The grapes are placed in old Slavonian oak vats and co-fermented with native yeasts. Maceration with the skins lasts about 3 months—however long it takes to reach total dryness--with no temperature control and no sulfur. The wine is racked and aged on its lees in huge Slavonian oak casks (25-35-hectoliter) for 3-4 years, racked twice a year. The wine is then bottled without sulfur and without filtration. The bottles are aged for several years before release. Oslavje is the Radikons' home village in Friui.
