50% Chardonnay/50% Sauvignon Blanc. Stone fruit and bruised apple on the nose with nuts, savoury elements and ginger. A complex, elegant wine with a depth and richness that are the perfect embodiment of the Radikon philosophy.

"The 2019 Bianco O...... (Oslavje) is airy and floral with a lovely touch of fresh mint that gives way to young peach and white flowers. This is distinctly savory on the palate, with a tart lemon rind tinge, giving way to young kiwi and mineral tones, more like an herbal tea than wine. Brisk acidity maintains a lifted feel. It finishes with medium length and a liquid floral sensation as tactile mineral tones add a pleasant crunchiness. This blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Sauvignon Blanc spends three months refining on the lees. Drinking window: 2025 - 2031."
