Radford Dale is one of South Africa’s leading independent wineries. Based on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, they specialize in producing site-specific, natural wines. Prizing individuality and combining a keen pursuit of innovation and a healthy respect for tradition, the results are refined and often elegant wines, designed to be enjoyed as they have been throughout history; socially, gastronomically and festively.

The Thirst range offers refreshing, lower alcohol, naturally-made wines, with minimal
intervention. They have not been stripped of any natural components and they
are neither fined nor filtered, appearing hazy in the glass. The Cinsault vines were planted in 1989 and are grown on sandy soils lining the banks of the Moddergat River. Bush vine trained with no irrigation in the vineyard, producing a small crop but one with lovely concentration, harvested early during ripening to retain maximum freshness.

Fresh, juicy and bright with lovely mineral, stony notes under the joyful, thirst-quenching fresh cherry and cranberry fruits. Medium-bodied with slowly blooming tannins and zippy acidity, this will be an easy wine to kick back with and enjoy. 

Pair with tasty snacks like sheep's milk cheeses  and cured meats on your next charcuterie board.

Radford Dale is one of South Africa’s leading independent Wineries. Based on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch and specializing in producing site-specific, natural wines. Named by Decanter Magazine as the Best Chenin produced in South Africa, this is one of the greatest representations of how Chenin can and should be made.

From some of the oldest bush vines in the Cape, this Chenin is the epitome of dedication and brilliant craftsmanship. Having taken 12 years to perfect, Alex Dale has done a superb job integrating subtle oak aging with the beautiful fruity flavours of Chenin, brought to life by an ever present minerality. The Renaissance
of Chenin Blanc is all about subtlety and finesse. It is driven by its citrus fruit
spectrum and has a wonderful refreshing saltiness. With an aging potential of 10 to 15 years, no wine cellar, nor glass, is complete without it.

 The natural acidity of this Chenin Blanc will work wonders with chicken kiev or seafood cooked in a creamy sauce.
