The 2021 Freedom Pinot Noir by Radford Dale is a testament to the cool-climate Elgin region's potential for producing exceptional Pinot Noir. Elgin, located approximately 65 km southeast of Cape Town, is known for its high rainfall, cooler temperatures, and ancient Bokkeveld shale soils, which contribute to the wine's purity and finesse. Radford Dale, founded in 1998 by Alex Dale and Ben Radford, acquired Elgin Ridge, the region's only certified organic and biodynamic wine estate, in 2021 .
The 2021 vintage underwent minimal intervention winemaking to preserve the fruit's character. The wine was fermented with natural yeasts and aged in a combination of concrete and older oak barrels, allowing the terroir to shine through.
Tasting Notes: This medium-bodied Pinot Noir offers aromas of red berries and earthy undertones. On the palate, it presents a silky texture with bright acidity and a long, mineral finish .
Food Pairings: Ideal with grilled salmon, roasted chicken, or a charcuterie board.
The 2021 Freedom Pinot Noir exemplifies Radford Dale's commitment to producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Elgin terroir.
