With the vines now averaging over 30 years old, the wine shows the typical intensity that one can expect from mature Chardonnay vineyards. The crunchy, granite derived soil type (Clovelly) imparts a lovely, flinty minerality to the wine and proximity to sea means the wine naturally possesses a bracing freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith strong influence of Alex Dale’s upbringing in Burgundy, the making of this Chardonnay is also adapted to our particular conditions in this ocean-facing part of the Cape – our mineral geology and temperate maritime climate both lending much to the equation. Restraining acidity, citrus flavours and integrated oaking, the introverted side of its character; ripeness and great persistence on the palate the more expansive side. Genuinely mineral, with a crisp lime-citrus edge and an elegant yet intense durability . \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA Chardonnay striving to be individual, focused on backbone and not butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVEGAN FRIENDLY\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4738\/6009\/files\/Radford_Dale_Freedom_Pinot_Noir_2021.pdf?v=1654846023\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDOWNLOAD LIBRARY FACTSHEETS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e2020 (Platter 4.5*) - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4738\/6009\/files\/Radford_Dale_Chardonnay_2020.pdf?v=1655128352\"\u003eProduct sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e2018 (Platter 4.5*) - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4738\/6009\/files\/Radford_Dale_Chardonnay_2018.pdf?v=1632829955\"\u003eProduct sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e2017 (Platter 4.5*) - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4738\/6009\/files\/Radford_Dale_Chardonnay_2017.pdf?v=1785161765\"\u003eProduct sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e2016 (Platter 4*) - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4738\/6009\/files\/Radford_Dale_Chardonnay_2016.pdf?v=1785161765\"\u003eProduct sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Radford Dale","offers":[{"title":"2020","offer_id":48348909404313,"sku":null,"price":566.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2018","offer_id":48348909469849,"sku":null,"price":566.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2017","offer_id":48348909502617,"sku":null,"price":566.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2016","offer_id":48348909535385,"sku":null,"price":566.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/4738\/6009\/files\/3_6ff44e1c-aef6-4a43-82d4-cbb883c884c3.jpg?v=1784717699","url":"https:\/\/www.radforddale.com\/products\/chardonnay-stellenbosch-library","provider":"Radford Dale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
