Freshness, elegance, finesse and purity are the hallmarks of Radford Dale The Rennaissance of Chenin Blanc! A wonderful aroma of a whole range of citrus fruits ensnares both nose and palate. These delicious nuances are perfectly rounded off and completed by a refreshing saltiness.

Often underestimated by winemakers and consumers alike, the recognition and realisation that the Chenin Blanc grape variety has immense potential and can produce world-class wines is constantly increasing. South Africa's finest grape variety has a lot to offer! Just as lovers of true character and elegant finesse often have to swim against the tide and withstand popular trends, a new and fresh generation of Chenin Blanc producers is emerging in the Cape! A generation that brings incredibly interesting, sophisticated, mineral and individually distinctive wines to the top.

Treatment in the cellar

The Chenin grapes were pressed all over the bunch, whereupon the juice was subjected to a two-day resting period before being poured onto the barrel. The alcoholic fermentation took place naturally, through the yeast present in the environment, and lasted between eight and ten weeks. Malolactic fermentation was prevented by the fermentation temperature being controlled at a cool temperature. The wine matured in barrels on the fine yeast for 9 months after the end of fermentation. After the barrels were blended, the wine rested for another month before being bottled. The second, third and fourth barrels used for the ageing of this wine all come from the artisan cooperages of Burgundy, where Allier and Vosges oak were used for the production.
