Radford Dale stands as one of South Africa’s premier independent wineries, renowned for crafting site-specific, natural wines that marry innovation with tradition. With two distinct wineries—one nestled in the Helderberg Mountain of Stellenbosch and the other an Organic Estate in Elgin—all Radford Dale wines are united by a single ethos: to produce the finest wines without succumbing to commercial trends or outdated practices. Rooted in a strong commitment to sustainability and a dedication to the local community, every aspect of Radford Dale's operation is imbued with a profound sense of purpose.

The Vinum range is all about bringing together great quality and fantastic value without compromising on craftsmanship. Made with the same vineyard sites, viticultural practices, and winemaking techniques as Radford Dale’s premium Terroir range, the focus here is all about pure drinking enjoyment.

Medium ruby in colour with a bright scarlet rim. The nose reveals expressive cherry aromas accented by warm notes of nutmeg and cinnamon and delicate nuances of cured meat. Juicy and vibrant on the palate, sweet berry fruit and fine tannins carry through to a fresh, savoury finish.

About the Winery

Radford Dale

Radford Dale and The Winery of Good Hope are two brands made by the same people, in the same winery. The team behind these wineries has been an industry leader since the 1990s in chemical free farming, and more recently in low and no sulfur winemaking. They are a founding member of PIWOSA (Premium Independent Wineries of South Africa) which sets ethical, environmental and social uplift standards. Recognizing the social inequality present in South Africa Radford Dale has also set up a trust called Land of Hope to help facilitate bright futures for children, focusing heavily on education.

Alex Dale who owns and manages both projects is an Englishman who grew up spending summers in Burgundy, France. He moved there in his late teens to follow a passion for winemaking and also opened a wine bar in Beaune. He lived in Burgundy for many years before moving to South Africa in 1998, starting Radford Dale with Ben Radford, an Australian. The idea was to produce wines using modern techniques and technology with a healthy respect for tradition, something Alex came to understand well while living in Burgundy.

Wines are made with minimal intervention in order to best express each vineyard’s individuality.

Press Reviews

The Wine Anorak

93 points - Jamie Goode

12.5% alcohol. This is beautifully fruit driven and pure with raspberry and cherry fruit, as well as some supple green notes. This is silky and fine with nice purity and good fruit presence.

Pale in colour and savoury in nature, Radford Dale's 2023 pinot is showing maturity on all fronts, with fruit shifted definitively into the dried/desiccated spectrum, building into pot pourri flavours. Drawn from two sites - an east-facing Stellenbosch parcel and north-facing Bot River vines planted to Burgundian clone 115 - it's whole-berry fermented and basket-pressed, then aged in 228L and 300L Burgundian barrels with no new oak, all of which shows in the wine's gentle, unforced framing. The palate is soft and supple, with silky tannins and still-lively, succulent acids. Depth and length are very solid indeed for the price, and styling is classic. Lovers of Bourgogne should take note. Tasted June 2026.

90 points - Michael Godel

Juicy if rustic pinot noir laden with rooibos tisane, beet root and that unmistakable Western Cape twang. Sharp tang, great spirit and also heart from the team at Radford Dale. Drink 2026-2028. Tasted June 2026.

90 points - Megha Jandhyala S.J.D., DipWSET

Radford Dale's Vinum is aromatically mild-mannered, though more fruit are discernible on the palate, including notes of dark cherries and strawberries, some fresh and some dried. Mostly fruity, this wine also shows nuances of woody spices herbs. The palate is medium bodied, with rounded ripe tannins, and sweet-balanced acidity, while the finish is long-lasting. This pinot noir is in its peak drinking window, ready to enjoy. Tasted June 2026.
