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 Pinot Noir is characterised by its finesse and poise rather than power or richness. It owes its mineral elegance to the soils it grows in and its aromatic berry generosity and depth of flavor to the wonderful climate of Elgin.
