Radford Dale Chardonnay 2021

Barossa native Ben Radford and Burgundian-raised Alex Dale unite in a truly unique partnership, blending modern winemaking techniques with traditional values to craft exceptional wines from the Cape of Good Hope, including their 2017 Chardonnay. Uncork this delightful white and embark on a journey to the Cape, where vines flourish on the sea-facing South Easterly slopes, rooted in ancient South African Clovelly soils.

With over 20 successful vintages, the vines have reached a natural balance, enhanced by Radford Dale's winemaking expertise, resulting in a true gem. Influenced by Dale's Burgundian upbringing, the making of this Chardonnay embraces the specific conditions of the ocean-facing Cape, where mineral geology and a temperate maritime climate play integral roles.

Unlike typical California Chardonnays, the Radford Dale edition forgoes buttery and oaky flavors, offering instead a well-structured wine with austere elegance. Perfectly suited for fish entrees, it also serves as a refreshing sipper on a temperate evening on the patio.
