"This 10-year-old Radford Dale Organic Freedom Pinot's vibrant red fruit and developed character beautifully balance the Sake Steamed Pork dish’s umami and sweetness, while its acidity cuts through the richness of the jowl."

"The Radford Dale Vinum Pinot Noir enhances our Venison Tataki with its juicy cherry and sweet berry notes, while its savoury spice and fine tannins complement the green olive tapenade and ginger chiffonade for a harmonious pairing."

"I am pairing the Radford Dale Organic Higher Purpose Cabernet Franc with the Springbok Medallion and Fillet, with pistachio and forest mushroom & poppyseed sauce because of the firm and fine restrained tanins, ripe red fruit and light herbal spice.

Chef Ashley Moss & Jennifer Hugé's favourite pairing
"The tension of acidity of the Radford Dale Organic Semillon pairs extremely well with our delicate kingklip dish, where the slight honeyed flavour complements the umami-saltiness in the dashi broth, and the minerality of the wine enhances the flavour of the coastal plant elements of the dish (spekboom, samphire and salty fingers), really bringing out the essence of sea in the plate."
