About Radford Dale Chardonnay 750ML
Radford Dale Chardonnay from Stellenbosch offers a beautifully composed expression of cool-influenced South African Chardonnay. On the nose, it opens with bright citrus blossom and white peach, layered with subtle toasted almond and a whisper of creamy vanilla from restrained oak treatment. The palate is precise and energetic, with lemon curd and nectarine at the fore, underpinned by a saline minerality that speaks to the wine's terroir-driven philosophy. The oak integration is seamless — adding texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. A vibrant natural acidity keeps everything lifted and focused, while a touch of grilled hazelnut and brioche adds mid-palate richness.
