ABOUT THIS WINE
Oslavje is named for the village of Oslavia in Friuli, where Radikon’s estate vineyards lie on ponca (marl and sandstone) soils. The 2020 vintage blends Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio, all from organically farmed old vines. Grapes are harvested by hand and undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by an extended maceration on the skins (8–14 days). The wine is aged for about 3 years in large Slavonian oak barrels, then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfur in Radikon’s signature 1-liter bottles.
The result is a richly aromatic wine showing notes of orange zest, dried herbs, almond skin, and beeswax. The texture is firm and phenolic, yet the wine remains balanced by fresh acidity and saline drive.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Radikon is a benchmark natural wine producer based in Oslavia, Friuli, on the border with Slovenia. Founded by Stanko Radikon and now run by his son Saša, the estate pioneered extended skin contact for white wines and a zero-additive approach that has influenced winemakers around the world. Farming is fully organic, and winemaking is based on long maceration, native fermentations, and aging in large neutral oak. Oslavje stands as one of Radikon’s most emblematic bottlings—bold, expressive, and unmistakably alive.
