Sourced from organically farmed vines rooted in \u003ci\u003eponca\u003c\/i\u003e—a unique regional soil of layered, mineral-rich marl and sandstone—the fruit is harvested entirely by hand at optimal maturity. In the cellar, Saša Radikon uses a slightly shorter maceration period than the estate's blue-label flagships, destemming and fermenting the grapes on their skins in oak vats for roughly 10 to 12 days. Following a restful year and a half of maturation on its fine lees in large neutral oak casks, it is bottled completely unfiltered, unfined, and with zero added sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it glows with a striking, slightly hazy amber-orange hue with deep copper reflections. The nose is highly intricate and layered, opening with intense notes of dried apricot, candied orange peel, wild mountain honey, and a fragrant, herbal hint of damp chamomile and bay leaf. On the palate, a \"crystalline\" core of laser-sharp, mineral acidity cuts straight through the wine’s natural phenolic weight and broad texture. The skin contact imparts a beautiful, structural grip of fine-grained, tea-like tannins that masterfully shapes the mouthfeel without turning bitter. It concludes with an incredibly long, bone-dry finish that leaves a persistent, mouthwatering trail of dried orchard fruits, toasted almonds, and crushed stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Radikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49861114036464,"sku":"ASSIGN","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Radikon-SLATNIK-2022_2_1_f8ebafd9-1c04-4d45-8bd5-159f6dd5dc8e.jpg?v=1748558868","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/radikon-slatnik-2023-magnum","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
