Radgonske Gorice has a wide selection of wine and sparkling wine to choose from but today we’ve gone for a bottle of Radgonske Gorice – Zlata Radgonska Penina Selection Brut 2016, this Sparkling Wine won the Trophy in the Zesty & Zingy Category at The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly Awards 2019.

Radgonske Gorice is located in Slovenia, they produce 4,500,000 litres of wine every year, with a production that high, it makes sense that Radgonske is the largest producer of Sparkling Wine in Slovenia.

They are not simply the biggest Sparkling Wine producers in Slovenia, they are also the oldest, they started over 160 years ago in 1852.
