MEET THE WINEMAKER - SASA RADIKON An evening featuring some of the worlds most iconic and fascinating natural wines Tuesday July 31st, 6.30pm sharp 28A Stanley Street, Collingwood VIC Join us at The Moon for a tasting of some of Radikon's insane natural wines. It'll be a casual night, but as anyone who has tasted these gems can attest, the wines shared will be anything but casual... Stanilaus, or "Stanko", Radikon is a maverick in a land of mavericks. The town of Oslavia, on a relatively tiny stretch of hills north of the border town of Gorizia in the Isonzo zone of Friuli, is home to a number of talented and individualistic wine makers. Stanko's philosophy is the pursuit of absolute "naturalness" in his wines. They are interesting, complex examples of what has come to be known, in reference to the ancestral origins of the winemaker working in this style and their geographic proximity to the neighbouring country, as the "Slovenian" style of Friuli wines – namely hand-harvesting, extended skin maceration, large, older barrel fermentations without temperature control, no added yeasts or enzymes and no use of sulphur. The vineyards were originally planted by Stanko's grandfather Franz Mikulus with the local favorite, the Ribolla Gialla grape. In 1948, Stanko’s parents, who had inherited the property from his mother’s father, planted Merlot, Tocai Friulano and Pinot Grigio. Today, Stanko, his wife, Suzana and son, Sasa maintain their family's land. |
