Radford Dale Vinum Chenin Blanc 2023

Grapes from the same Lynedoch vineyard planted in 1969 that supplies Radford Dale's top-end Renaissance bottling. 40% matured in foudre, the rest in a combination of 228-, 300- and 500-litre barrels. Citrus, peach and just the right amount of leesy, waxy complexity on the nose. Great fruit concentration, punchy acidity and pithy, slightly bitter finish. Old-vine Chenin treated with the lightest of hands to great effect. Alc: 13%. Score - 94.
