Smoked Salmon Cocktail

Freshly Smoked Salmon and a Glass of Bubbly Cocktail.

Sparkling Wine & Salmon is an ideal pairing, both complementing each other to create an enhanced experience, so why not try including smoked salmon into a Sparkling Wine Cocktail? Utilising the smokiness and a little touch of ginger and black pepper.

The Sparkling Wine – Radgonske Gorice

The biggest and one of the most well-known Slovenian Sparkling Wineries is Radgonske Gorice, producing Sparkling Wine for everyone, supplying Slovenian Supermarkets and offering something a little more aged and complex for the wine connoisseur.

Radgonske Gorice is also the oldest Sparkling Wine producer in Slovenia, they started 170 years ago in 1852 and now produce 4,500,000 litres of wine every year, with a production that high, it makes sense that Radgonske Gorice is the largest producer of Sparkling Wine in Slovenia.
