'Slatnik' 2022

Radikon’s Slatnik Chardonnay blend 2022 is a benchmark Friulian skin-contact white from the Collio hills near the Slovenian border. Under the stewardship of Sasa Radikon, this wine undergoes months of fermentation and ageing on skins in large old barrels, developing an amber hue and layered texture. Aromas of orchard fruit, citrus zest, and dried herbs mingle with a hint of honey, while a savoury, mineral-driven finish showcases the vineyard’s marl and sandstone soils. Unfiltered and non-dosed, Slatnik embodies Radikon’s philosophy of patience and total natural expression, allowing every nuance of the terroir to shine. For lovers of orange wine, it’s a wine of depth, precision, and unmistakable character—textural yet elegant, complex yet approachable. Perfect for those seeking a contemplative, terroir-driven Chardonnay that rewards both sharing and slow discovery.
