Dr. Abraham Perold was the South African viticulturist and scientist who in 1925at Stellenbosch University, germinatedthe Pinotage varietal by intermingling two species of grapes which, arguably, should never have been given life together : Pinot Noir & Cinsault. A century earlier, Dr.Victor Frankenstein, from Mary Shelleys novel Frankenstein, created an equally strange creature, also by stitching together different body parts from mismatched donors. The Radford Dale Frankenstein Pinotage is our nod to the work carried-out in his laboratory by South Africas firstprofessor of viticulture, Abraham Perold, and a wink to the creature he created.
