Radford Dale The Renaissance of Chenin Blanc 2023

Delicate nutty-bread toastiness on the nose before a sunny abundance of Chenin fruit floods, in bringing russet apples and little wrinkly oranges and nectarines, along with an aggregate of crystalline acidity radiating out through the fruit. Elfin bitterness plays ping pong with a naughty nymph of toffeed sweetness. The balance of weight, acidity, oak and richness is sheer choreography. Superior. When to drink: 2025-2033. Score – 17 (out of 20). (Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, Sept. 30, 2025)
