Vinum Gamay Noir (Stellenbosch)

2023 | Stellenbosch

Another relatively new wine to the Radford Dale stable, and our third expression of Gamay Noir. It’s a variety we hold in high esteem and this bottling – in part - comes from the first plantings of Gamay in over 20 years & a site we have established on the Polkadraai hills. This site also serves as the mother block for quality cuttings going forward, which we have used for a new vineyard at our organic Elgin farm and a new block in the Helderberg. There are less than 10 hectares of Gamay currently planted in the Cape. Deep purple, with a Violet rim. Aromatic mulberry and spiced plum notes on the nose. Generous and juicy, the plate shows medium weight with ripeness and a substantial tannin that draws into a rewardingly full finish.
