The 2023 Radford Dale Vinum Chenin Blanc is a vibrant and elegant white from Stellenbosch, crafted in a modern, minimal-intervention style that highlights purity, freshness and old-vine character. Sourced from coastal vineyards, it reflects a balanced, food-friendly expression of South African Chenin Blanc.The nose is bright and aromatic, showing pear, white peach and citrus, layered with notes of honey, jasmine and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and a gently textured, slightly creamy mouthfeel from lees aging. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and a hint of waxy complexity lead to a crisp, mineral-driven and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great alternative to lightly oaked Chardonnay—offering freshness, texture and versatility. Ideal for customers who enjoy balanced whites with both vibrancy and depth. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken or light creamy dishes.
