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Radford Dale wines are united by a single ethos: to produce the finest wines without succumbing to commercial trends or outdated practices.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.
By opting for an earlier harvest, the 2020 Black Rock wine exhibits a lower alcohol content, maintaining vibrancy and a fresh expression of the fruit. The nose reveals captivating aromas of spice and fynbos, underscored by a prominent note of mixed berries. Light-bodied yet still lively on the palate, maintaining generous concentration of flavour enveloped by satiny tannins and supported by nimble acidity - truly a perfect Summer-time sipper!
Savour this chillable red wine alongside bruschetta topped with diced tomatoes, basil, and balsamic glaze, or pair it with an antipasto platter featuring olives, cured meats, and marinated vegetables.
Black Rock is a Swartland cuvée of co-fermented Syrah with 50% Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Aged in 10% new oak - a lot for Radford Dale - this has intense aromas of pine, sage and eucalyptus, refreshing acidity, plenty of grip for a wine with 12.5% alcohol and blackberry and summer berry fruit.
