Radford Dale's The Antidote Gamay is a captivatingly light-bodied, vibrant red wine hailing from South Africa's Western Cape region. This unorthodox blend demonstrates lively, fruit-filled notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, and a pinch of earthy spice. Its palette charmer lies in the high acidity which dances harmoniously with its youthful, fruit-forward intensity, sketching a compelling picture on the tongue. A cool fermentation process defining its elegance further enriches the subtle tannins. The Antidote Gamay exudes intrigue, creativity, and an unexpected lightness, perfect for those seeking an 'antidote' to the heavy, intense flavours of conventional reds.

Tasting Notes

Refreshing yet displaying the natural sucrosité usually found in Gamay. Juicy red fruits; crushed cranberries, raspberry and red cherry with very soft tannins and hint of spice on the finish. Just enough grip to define a fine, lingering finish. One of a kind, totally individual.
