The 2017 Radford Dale Nudity Syrah is a distinctive, minimal-intervention Syrah from Stellenbosch, crafted without added sulphites to highlight purity, terroir and natural expression. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards, it reflects a modern, “natural wine” approach with a focus on freshness and transparency. The nose is complex and lifted, showing dark berries, plum and cherry layered with floral notes, spice and fynbos character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a lively, energetic structure—bright acidity, fine tannins and a core of pure fruit supported by notes of pepper, earth and subtle savoury nuances. The finish is fresh, clean and slightly grippy, emphasizing vibrancy and natural expression over richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great pick for adventurous drinkers or customers exploring low-intervention wines. It’s more about freshness and character than power, making it a unique take on Syrah. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years. Best with grilled meats, charcuterie or earthy dishes.
