I first met Ben Radford when he was working as a head winemaker at the Longridge/Winecorp group in Stellenbosch, South Africa. A bevy of international journalists grilled Ben, a French winemaker and a South African about the wines they were producing for the group. The others refused to admit there were any shortcomings in the wines they had made (there were), while Ben took the opposite tack, criticising his own wines even though they were clearly the best. He and wife Gill are now the proud owners of a vineyard in the Eden Valley, with 1.2 ha of riesling planted in 1930, another 1.1 ha planted in ’70, 1.7 ha of shiraz planted in 2000 and 0.2 ha of mataro planted ’10. Following Ben’s appointment as winemaker at Rockford in ’07, executive winemaking responsibilities are now Gill’s. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Denmark and South Africa.
