2021 Slatnik Radikon

The 2021 S Slatnik is outrageously spicy and intense, with pungent notes of dried lemon peels, ginger and honeyed flowers. It's just as wild on the palate, with depths of concentration offset by stimulating acidity and a burst of inner sweetness that soothes as tropical citrus and florals resonate throughout. There are wonderful contrasts through the finish, somehow drying yet also juicy and incredibly crisp. The Slatnik is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Friulano that goes through eight days of skin contact and refines for one year in large cask. Wow!
