SA classic from prime terroir, built for 10+ years. Liquorice, cedar & fresh herb overlay to pure cassis fruit, precise acid & fine-boned tannin, tightly focused exemplar of this wine's signature elegance, harmony, latent power. All-new oak, 18 months, like standout 2017.

Compact and dark red fruited, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley offers cassis, blackberry and spiced plum notions in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers soft hints of herbs, graphite, pencil lead and dark cherry skin before notions of violets sway across the mid-palate with a firm tannic edge. It’s still tight and youthful and will benefit from an additional year in bottle; however, the wine should drink particularly well for the next 12 years.

About the Winery
Radford Dale

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.

Proprietor Alex Dale takes inspiration from Nelson Mandela's memoir "A Long Walk to Freedom" as he sees his adopted South Africa as the place where agriculture and winemaking have given him his. The first organic pinot noir from this Elgin outpost for Stellenbosch producer Radford Dale and what winemaker Jacques de Klerk calls "a transitory vintage." Meaning Elgin Ridge was the original owner and the farming is now fully under RD's command. This '21 is glaring and striking in primary freshness, so youthful it feels like bottling happened only yesterday. Chalky tannic, of a formidable density but stone cold salty, like Sonoma Coast and a wedge of Délice de Bourgogne. This is, in the parlance of our times endearingly referred to as "C'est bon, fuck!" Drink 2024-2028.
