Notes on the producer
Radford Dale is a South African wine brand that is famous for its refreshing wines. It was founded in 1998. Alex Dale, a Brit, and Ben Radford, an Australian, are the joint partners of this brand. They set up this brand with the sole objective of making high-quality wines from the vineyards spread across the Western Cape. Alex and Radford have many years of wine experience between them, which reflects in the quality of wines that they craft under this label. The winemaking is made using minimal intervention techniques. The red wines and white wines are prepared in such a way that the flavour and character of the grapes are retained throughout the vinification process. While preparing red wines, Radford Dale Wines insists on using small open-top fermenters made from oak and natural fermentation methods to ensure that the wines come out as full-flavoured, when they are released into the market.
