The 2022 Radford Dale Vinum Stellenbosch Grenache is a refined and modern expression of Grenache from coastal Stellenbosch, crafted in a fresh, elegant style that emphasizes purity and drinkability. Part of the Vinum range—designed to showcase value, authenticity and terroir—it reflects the estate’s focus on minimal intervention and balance. The nose is bright and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry and strawberry, layered with hints of dried herbs, white pepper and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a juicy, supple texture and fine, polished tannins. Fresh red fruit is balanced by lively acidity and a savoury edge, leading to a smooth, vibrant and persistent finish with a touch of spice and minerality. The style is elegant and approachable, highlighting freshness over weight.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers who enjoy lighter, Rhône-style reds with freshness and finesse. It’s an easy-drinking yet characterful wine that over-delivers for its price. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with roasted poultry, lamb, charcuterie or Mediterranean dishes.
