Radford Dale Vinum Chardonnay 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R198
‘A bright, fresh style but with some body. Lively citrus fruit (lemon, mandarin) with some spicy grapefruit freshness. Such focus and intensity, with some baked apple richness at the bass end and bright spicy citrus at the treble.’ – Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com, 93/100
‘Again from various Stellenbosch sites. Lime, lemon, white peach and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Good fruit concentration and bright acidity before a nicely dry finish. A cheerful wine that’s true to the variety.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100
‘More obviously oaky on the nose than the Vinum Chenin Blanc 2022 with an enticing creamy, smoky, mealy aroma that enhances but doesn't drown out the fruit, which is citrus and melon and a hint of clementine. Deeply flavoured, a little bit of oak spice, firm in texture and finely balanced with a long, fresh finish. GV. 2023-2027’ – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20
‘Pale gold in colour with a vibrant green tinge. Lemon preserve and fresh brioche notes combine on the nose, with a touch of spice. A lively lime zip leads into a generously round mid-palate. The finish is taut and crisp leaving one with a clean, mineral lift.’ – Winemaker
