If you happen to ask me, even cave-dwelling carnivores deserve somewhat style of the finer issues in life. Enter Radgonske Gorice, a vineyard in Slovenia’s Gornja Radgona area with a glowing wine model known as Untouched by Light that’s made, bought, and ideally tasted in full darkness.

In line with a press launch despatched to The Takeout, the pitch-black course of is supposed to scale back the wine’s publicity to sunlight or synthetic lighting, as each can lead to disagreeable “light-struck” aromas in white wines. First, vineyard staff don evening imaginative and prescient goggles to reap the grapes on “moonless nights.” The wine can also be made in the dead of night utilizing evening imaginative and prescient goggles; then, it’s left to age in black lightproof bottles in Gornja Radgona cave. As soon as out of the cave, the wine is packed in a vacuum-sealed bag blocking any extra gentle or air contact.

Lastly, the vineyard recommends tasting the product in the dead of night. “It’s extremely recommendable to style this wine in pitch darkness in good firm, as a result of the perfect issues occur in the dead of night,” a Radgonske Gorice consultant mentioned within the launch. Hell, don’t have to inform me twice.

Radgonske Gorice is presently in quest of native distributors throughout the globe; nevertheless, 2,000 samples of the 2016 Untouched by Gentle classic are presently out there on untouchedbylight.com. The bottle sells for 100 euros, or $120.57 USD per in the present day’s trade price.
