Radikon Jakot 2020 (1L)
Radikon stands alone: no one does it like this Friulian superstar. As Eric Asimov put it, these wines "astound for their purity, their distinctiveness and their almost radical evocation of a pre-modern age." Jakot is Friulano, the name spelled "Tokaj" backwards as a protest after the EU forced the variety's name change. The grapes come from vines originally planted by Stanko Radikon's grandfather on the clay, marl, and limestone slopes of Oslavia, hard against the Slovenian border, where no synthetics have been used since 1995 and yields hover at a minuscule 2.25 tons per acre. After Stanko's death in 2016, his son Sasa, wife Suzana, and daughter Ivana have continued to make the wine the way it has always been made: roughly three months on the skins, then years in large neutral Slavonian oak. The 1L bottle was Stanko's deliberate format, designed for two people sharing a meal. Powerful, jaw-droppingly intense, and a tutorial in why this family changed how the world thinks about orange wine.
