Radford Dale Vinum Pinotage 2022 Bottle size: 750ml

‘90% Stellenbosch, 10% Swartland grapes. Red and black cherry, floral perfume and herbs on the nose while the palate shows dense fruit, bright acidity and fine tannins (alc: 13%). Wonderfully well managed, this once again shows that the variety doesn’t always have to be big and rugged.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

‘Vivid, bright raspberry and blackberry fruit on the nose. Juicy and lively with subtle green herby notes. So fresh, but also rich at the same time. Shows blackcurrant, blackberry and a lively sweet spicy quality. Beautifully dense.’ – Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com, 91/100

‘Mid crimson. Pure, dark fruit – I'd be hard pressed to identify the variety from the aroma here, maybe because I am not used to such pure, clean-cut and fruity Pinotage. On the palate, firm, grippy but rounded tannins. Really well-balanced between structure and fruit. With impressive concentration and length for a wine at this price. I'd keep this another year in bottle and would expect it to age well. 2024-2028’ – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20

‘Deep purple and with ruby rim. Ripe strawberries and mulberry with interestingly perfumed rosewater aromas indicate varietal expression. Wild berry compote and dark forest fruits delight on the medium palate, before grippy tannins bring the wine to a clean, fresh finish.’ – Winemaker
