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Radford Dale wines are united by a single ethos: to produce the finest wines without succumbing to commercial trends or outdated practices.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.

Ripe aromas of white peach, winter melon, and a hint of Cape Jasmine greet the nose with inviting freshness in the glass. The palate is elegantly balanced with a medium body, leading to a crisp, refreshing finish that lingers beautifully.

Thanks to Chenin Blanc’s bright acidity and defined fruit flavours, it pairs beautifully with dishes that balance sweet and sour elements—think Southeast Asian cuisine or pork chops with caramelized apples. It’s also a great match for grilled or barbecued shrimp!

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.

Grapes from the same Lynedoch vineyard planted in 1969 that supplies Radford Dale's top-end Renaissance bottling. 40% matured in foudre, the rest in a combination of 228-, 300- and 500-litre barrels. Citrus, peach and just the right amount of leesy, waxy complexity on the nose. Great fruit concentration, punchy acidity and pithy, slightly bitter finish. Old-vine Chenin treated with the lightest of hands to great effect
