Radford Dale, 'Thirst' Gamay 2022

Radford Dale is a South African wine project run by Alex Dale, a Brit, and Ben Radford, an Aussie. So international! Their goal is to make high-quality wines from vineyards spread across the Western Cape. They use minimal intervention techniques, and the reds are made using open-top fermenters made from oak to ensure the wine has as full a flavour as possible. They grow only the grapes that are suited to the soil type at their disposal. Makes sense!
