Description
As the flagship variety of the estate, Radikon’s Ribolla Gialla comes from a selection of estate vines averaging over 50 years old. The winemaking & viticulture follow the same path as the other extended maceration cuvées – organic farming, no added sulphur, natural fermentation and use of large Slavonian oak casks for over 3 years before bottling. The wine is held at the estate in bottle before being released into the market.
Stanko was a believer that 750mL bottles did not properly do the wine justice when shared at a dinner table, and as such bottled the majority of his wines in either 500mL or 1L bottles. This was done on the basis that each bottle would be shared between either 2 or 4 people, allowing an appropriate volume of both white and red to be consumed over a meal.
