1 bottle x 2022 Radford Dale Vinum Pinotage (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
Red | Pinotage

Pinotage is a relative newcomer to Radford Dale (their first release came in 2011), yet the varietal has become an integral part of what they do. Simply put, they are looking for purity of fruit and freshness in our expressions. The grapes for this wine are predominantly from a vineyard located in the northern part of the Stellenbosch region and a quarter of a century old.

Their primary objective with this wine was to wild ferment, importantly leading with carbonic maceration, so as to unlock and reveal the hidden side of Pinotage. This whole berry, natural fermentation took place in open-top, 600L oak demi-muids, for a very soft extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. No new oak was used as they wanted the wine to exhibit its freshness while adding texture and complexity.

Pairing suggestion: Raspberry and redcurrant fruit aromas with both intensity and freshness. The palate is bright, vibrant, focused with wild cherry and plum fruit complemented by savoury herbs and spices.  You can tell this wine has been made in the vineyard and guided with a most gentle hand in the cellar. It shows purity, freshness with superb drinkability and balance.

The old vines and poor soils combine for incredibly low yields and highly concentrated grapes.

With his subtle approach to winemaking, the terroir is able to express itself very clearly and precisely. Dark black cherry colour with purple. Deep, ripe aromas of black cherry with a hint of black pepper. Very good weight; fleshy and round, very soft and harmonious. Delicious now or could be aged for several years.

Tropical & Fresh

Husband and wife duo Ilya and Nadia started Leaning Post winery in Niagara over 10 years ago. Initially a virtual set up, the winery now located on Highway 8, has become a reference producer in Niagara.

Leaning Post's goal for their Sauvignon Blanc is to reflect the unique Niagara terroir and this wine always delivers. 

Very intense tropical aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and mango lead to kiwi, lemongrass and lime-leaf on the nose. The palate has bright acidity matched by a creamy texture, with key-lime and starfruit battling with passionfruit for supremacy, while lemongrass and honeysuckle stand back and watch. The finish is the most surprising, with the flintiest, most “wet stones in a mountain stream” minerality we have ever seen on our Sauvignon Blanc!

At the southerly point of Africa along the Cape South Coast, Elgin stands out as the coolest region for wine production. Situated 450 meters above sea level on the southern ridge overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, lies Iona vineyards, surrounded by the UNESCO-certified Kogelberg Biosphere. Here, a unique microclimate is shaped by the close proximity to the freezing Atlantic Ocean and rapid altitude rise. Misty clouds shield the vineyards from intense sun exposure, filtering the sunlight to promote slow ripening. This results in grapes with perfect acidity, moderate alcohol, and beautifully developed flavours.

Iona's vineyards are meticulously tended by hand using organic and biodynamic methods, prioritizing soil health and integrated pest management. This philosophy extends to their cellar practices, where minimal intervention is required thanks to the exceptional quality of their fruit.

The Elgin Highlands Sauvignon Blanc displays beautiful purity of limes and ripe gooseberry, with tropical, floral and fine herbal notes, ruby grapefruit and white pear drop on the finish. This is cool climate Sauvignon Blanc – vibrant, mineral, elegant, balanced and delicate, with a long, layered and complex finish.

Try with garlic prawns or other lightly cooked shellfish.
