Radford Dale Touchstone Chardonnay 2023

Fermented and matured in older oak for 11 months. Struck-match reduction precedes lime, lemon, a subtle herbal note and oatmeal on the nose. The palate is concentrated but not weighty or oily – pure fruit and fresh acidity before a dry finish. Precise and elegant. Alcohol: 13%. [Enjoy through the end of the decade.] (Christian Eedes,winemag.co.za,Oct. 2, 2024)
