Daylight and artificial light are said to affect the taste of wine, studies have found..., so Radgonské gorice was reminded to create a unique sparkling wine Untouched by Light, which is made in complete darkness. Is it true that the best things happen in the dark?
Radgonske gorice, which presented sparkling beer this week Untouched by Light, are in the making of their unique blagos brands joined forces with scientist Ann C. Noble - this one found that the exposure of the wine to daylight or artificial lighting led to an altered taste. The intensity should decrease citrus aromas and increased the intensity of "boiled cabbage or wet dog" aromas. That's why they bravely ventured into the darkness at Radgonské gorice and prepared in it Untouched by Light.
The sparkling wine is made from just the right green Chardonnay grapes, picked at night, and aged in cellars in complete darkness - resting two to three years in Radgon cellars, untouched by the outside world.
They are used during harvesting, bottle shaking and packaging night vision goggles. When the wine leaves the cellar, it is protected in a black, opaque bottle, packed in a vacuum-sealed bag, which prevents access to any additional light or contact with air. And this is how you should also taste it: in complete darkness in good company.
Untouched by Light only started fermentation a few months ago, which means they will first bottles available next year. Nevertheless, Radgonske Gorice has already started accepting pre-orders that they can you can do it too!
