Radley & Finch - Rose 2023 | Monsieur Touton Selection

Tasting Notes

Aromas and flavors all focused on the red spectrum, embracing the natural juicy notes of Cinsault combined with a fine firmness on the palate and lush fruit at the center of it all with a crisp, dry finish.

Vineyard

The vineyards of the region are found to be extended till the southeastern slopes of Paardeberg Inselberg and are located high in the mountains. This way, these vineyards benefit from the well-drained soils that are rich in potassium, which is an important nutrient for the maintenance of vine health. These, along with the deep root systems, are giving the healthier and stronger vines.

Vinification

Grapes crushed and left on the skins for a short amount of time, around 2 hours. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and racked off its primary lees right after fermentation.

Estate

Radley & Finch is a range of varietal wines made by Thinus Kruger and Pascal Schildt. The name was inspired from the famous book: To Kill a Mockingbird, but unlike the serious nature of the book, these wines aim to reflect a typical and light-hearted style of wine true to the most enjoyed grape varieties originating in South Africa. The motto: Optimism, beats the pants off pessimism. We want these wines to be an honest path for wine drinkers to delve into the special world of premium South African wines over time.
