Radford Dale Vinum Chardonnay 2023

Elena Morozova — One of my favourite SA whites

9/10

I'm a big fan of Radford Dale and this Chardonnay doesn't disappoint. There's a real complexity to it that you don't always get at this price point. The finish just sort of fades out perfectly and makes you want another sip. Genuinely excellent.

Zara Al-Hassan — Decent mid-week bottle

7/10

Had this with some pasta and it did the job nicely. Nothing flashy but it's well made and the acidity keeps things interesting. I'm still figuring out what I like with white wine and this felt like a safe bet. Would get it again if it was on offer.

Adaobi Eze — Really impressive for the price

8/10

Picked this up from my local wine shop on a whim and honestly it punches well above £15. Really clean and fresh with lovely fruit, and it's got this nice acidity that keeps you coming back for more. Had it with roast chicken on Sunday and it was spot on.
