Another relatively new wine to the Radford Dale stable, and our third expression of Gamay Noir. It’s a variety we hold in high esteem and this bottling – in part - comes from the first plantings of Gamay in over 20 years & a site we have established on the Polkadraai hills. This site also serves as the mother block for quality cuttings going forward, which we have used for a new vineyard at our organic Elgin farm and a new block in the Helderberg. There are less than 10 hectares of Gamay currently planted in the Cape.
Tasting Notes: Ruby red, with a violet rim. Raspberry, aromatic mulberry, and spiced plum with hints of violet notes on the nose. Generous and juicy, the palate shows medium weight with silky tannins and a rewarding finish.
ANALYSIS: ALC 12.5% vol | TA 5.5g/l | pH 3.59 | RS 2.1g/l
