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

Four months have done right by this pinotage and the beauty lies in how such an example could change 99 percent of minds as to what the grape from South Africa can truly and effectively be. No coffee, mocha or java in any respect, no silly or cloying sweet oak but simply fruit. Bright and clean expressing clear varietal skies. Pinotage can be like this and you need to try this wine to become a believer. Last tasted November 2024.
As per the recent (five-plus) year trending style for (better quality) Cape pinotage there is a lighter sense of hue, extract and texture to Radford Dale’s Vinum bottling. The aromas could not be confused or exchanged for any other grape mind you but red fruit prevails and earthiness grounds the wine at every point of exchange. No shock that winemaker Jacques de Klerk would do right by pinotage and provide the stage it needs to succeed. Tons of spice all over the finish. Drink 2025-2028. Tasted July 2024.

This is a remarkably delicate and perfumed pinotage, pale of hue and redolent of still-fresh red berry fruit, notably absent the frequent rusticity displayed by the variety, as well as oak influce. Tannins are light and delicate and acids crunchy and juice, driving saliva and desire for additional sips, and the finish lingers delicately but impressively, the work of a hand and savvy hand. This will be a revelation to anyone who's exposure to pinotage was limited to the more commercial, sweet coffee-chocolate-flavoured versions, or the ultra old style reminiscent of rusty nails and rubber boots 0 this is nothing like that. Tasted November 2024.

Clear, intense ruby with a fine garnet rim. Inviting, compact nose, notes of blood oranges rhubarb and rust, then lots of plum and some dark truffle. Polished, finely meshed tannin in the attack and course, fine salty components to it, has drive in the finish and reverberates long.

The single vineyard cru Lazazarito is added in 2016 and it is Daniele Gaia’s first harvest at Réva. Drive the best car and drive it right away. “This is the best wine Réva has never made, “ says Gaia with great irony and humility. Tasted from low temperatures (22-24 degrees) in tank there was fear of Lazzrito’s tannins. Here above Serralunga a long strip on the top of the eastern side of the hill gives a marl-calcaire meets sandy soikl and so the best of both structural worlds; freshness (also from high pH) and grip. Yes it’s silly young and impressionable but already handsome, unadorned and fruit so crunchy, yet also sapid, a pinch salty and the impression of acidity is a freshness with thanks to that elevated pH. A sample but already in bottle and will be released in two years. Drink 2024-2036. Tasted January 2020.
