Tim Atkin MW has released his tenth South Africa report, published today, Tuesday 6th September. We are thrilled that in his 2022 Report, Tim rated a stunning total of 13 of our wines 91 Points or more, across our diverse portfolio, including the entire new range of Vinum as well as 93 points for our maiden Freedom Organic Pinot Noir.
For nearly 25 years Radford Dale has been striving for this sort of consistency and quality across all of our wines and this year's report is certainly testament to that!

Tim's 2022 overview
"The 2022 version is my most extensive overview yet of one of the most exciting wine-producing countries on the planet.
Over the space of four weeks of visits in March, June and July this year, I tasted a record 2,282 wines from 433 wineries, travelling thousands of miles across the Western Cape from Piekenierskloof to the Agulhas Triangle. It was great to be back in South Africa.
I thought I’d find a country that was still suffering from the aftershocks of the pandemic, not to mention the ban on exports and several bouts of domestic prohibition, but I was wrong. South Africans are a strong and resourceful bunch, and the wine industry has bounced back from the doldrums.
Overall, I’m extremely impressed by the quality of what I tasted, especially from the 2017 and 2021 vintages."

Some highlights from across the Radford Dale range
|
|
|
Radford Dale Chardonnay 2021
Stellenbosch
Tim Aktin MW - 94 Points
"One of the best Radford Dale Chardonnays I've had in a while, this impressive, pithy, low-alcohol 2021 comes from two types of decomposed granite in the Polkadraai Hills and the Lower Helderberg. Showing subtle struck match reduction, it's a chiselled, focused, subtly wooded white with lemongrass and wet stone flavours and lovely energy and vibrancy. 2022-27"

Radford Dale Freedom Organic Pinot Noir 2021
Elgin
Tim Aktin MW - 93 Points
"Sourced from the old Elgin Ridge farm, which Radford Dale have now purchased, this grippy, serious, organically farmed Pinot Noir is made with the 115 clone on Bokkeveld shale soils. Fresh and tangy, with savoury tannins, plum and redcurrant fruit and a touch of oak. 2023-28"
R438.00 per bottle

Radford Dale Vinum Grenache 2021
Stellenbosch
Tim Aktin MW - 92 Points
"The vines may be young, at just eight years of age, but there's no denying the quality or potential of this Helderberg Grenache from sand and granite soils. Sappy, red-fruited and intense, with savoury tannins, cranberry and red cherry fruit and lovely brightness and palate length. 2022-28"
R198.00 per bottle
