Radley & Finch Viking Point Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750 ML

Details

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.
Wines were all fermented in stainless steel and left on fine lees until the final blends were made up. During blending the aim was to always strike a fine balance between greener and riper flavors,ensuring a wine that has many layers and complexity.
The majority of the grapes for these wines come from the Voor-Paardeberg Mountain (1 hr north of Cape Town) and a small portion from Stellenbosch as well. The wines were not aged in oak (except a small portion of the Shiraz). This small wine region with only 10 miles of vine growing area is located to the north of Paarl and is found to have an exceptional terroir. The major reason for this is the placement of this region and the soil composition along with the prevailing winds. These factors altogether give a specific quality to the wine grapes, thus giving rise to the elite wine range.
