Note di degustazione
For the first time this wine was aged in qvevri. From a 'very good' growing season. The alcoholic strength is evidence of Gravner's lack of interest in analytics. Bottled only in magnum. Glowing ruby. Now this is really interesting on the nose. Sweet treacle/molasses flavours. Two magnums were opened and I enjoyed both even though the first had a very unusual nose that wine trader Bud Cuchet rightly suggested was of that curry-like plant you smell in the countryside in the south of France. (He claimed the next magnum reminded him of celery salt.) The alcohol was pretty obvious but not distasteful. What a dramatically rich wine! (JR)

Orange wine with a red tinge. Lots of blood oranges, cranberries and candied apple aromas. Full body, slight tannic texture and a fruity finish. Fun and thought-provoking. A blend of chardonnay, pinot grigio, riesling and others. Drink now.
Ash, smoke, incense, dried apricot and wild flowers meld together in a powerful, structured wine endowed with considerable depth. This is the first wine that shows Gravner's move to very late harvests. A rich, enveloping wine, the 2006 will challenge readers' perceptions about what white wine is and what wine can be. A plush, explosive finish rounds things out. The 2006 spent a total of five years in cask.
Informazioni sul produttore
Come Radikon, Joško Gravner – le cui vigne si estendono lungo il confine tra Italia e Slovenia – è una figura di spicco del movimento del vino naturale. La sua Ribolla Gialla macerata sulle bucce ha ispirato molti imitatori, mentre il raro Pignolo è molto apprezzato dagli intenditori.
