(R3,289.00 for 6 x 750ml)
In September 1994, Alex Dale arrived in South Africa from Burgundy, where he grew-up. In South Africa, Alex discovered the freedom to express his winemaking vision without the restrictive regulations of the EU and Burgundy, embracing the untamed beauty and geology of the Cape’s vineyards. In the spirit of an exciting, newly-democratic South Africa, this burst of liberty sowed the seed for the creation of Radford Dale’s passionately crafted Freedom Pinot Noir. This vintage marks our 16th consecutive vintage of Pinot Noir from Elgin. From the 2022 vintage, however, marks the maiden release from our own Estate in Elgin.
This wine offers a generous and pure expression of the varietal, showcasing an elegant interplay of red and purple fruit. Notes of wild strawberries, blackberries and spiced mulberries add depth, with forest undergrowth and graphite adding to the complexity and intrigue.The fine-grained tannins offer a sense of gravitas to the overall structure.
