Radford Dale Vinum Grenache 2022 Bottle size: 750ml

‘A second vintage from the Stellenbosch mountain is included this year, in addition to the young vines on the home Helderberg farm. Juicy and vivid with sweet plums and cherries, with pepper and mint notes. Sweet strawberry and raspberry on the palate with a juicy edge, fine green hints and a touch of pepper. There’s a lovely finesse to this with good acidity and a sense of purity.’ – Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com, 94/100

‘Grapes from two Stellenbosch vineyards. Cranberry, strawberry, white pepper and other spice on the nose while the palate medium bodied with good freshness and powdery tannin, the finish nicely dry. Well balanced, this is a great example of a “light red” that lends itself to being served slightly chilled.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100

‘Lightish crimson with watery purple rim. Subtle, red-fruited Grenache aroma, giving the impression of freshness rather than ripeness from the get-go. The fruit is mostly red and scented but it is the finely dry tannins that are the key here, bringing energy and freshness. A step up in quality compared with the 2021. Deeper, longer and more finely balanced. Deliciously dry finish. 2023-2026’ – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20

‘Deep crimson in colour with a ruby rim. Pronounced red current and perfumed strawberry notes on the nose. The heartily fruited palate is reined in by firm, but polished tannins before a lingering pomegranate finish.’ – Winemaker
