‘70% Darling and 20% Swartland grapes. 100% whole-bunch fermentation. Complex aromatics of black cherry, plum, potpourri, earth and spice. The palate has nice roundness and weight – good fruit concentration, bright acidity and supple tannins. Alcohol is 13% compared to 2021’s 12% and shows more vinosity as a result.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
‘The 2022 Cinsault leans more towards fruit sourced from Darling, which Rall remarked is more perfumed. It has a sense of plushness on the nose with blackberry, raspberry coulis, rose petals and light aniseed aromas. The palate has a wonderful spiciness from the 100% whole bunches and the terroir. Very elegant in style, but the finish has real weight and structure. Very long in the mouth. Recommended. 2025-2042’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100

| Producer information | Donovan Rall is one of SA’s finest, most exciting winemakers. In 2008, it all started with a bang when his first Rall White was awarded a Platter’s 5-Star. Since then, Donovan’s wines have continued on an unbelievable upward trajectory. He produces some of SA’s most sought-after wines including the stellar AVA single-vineyard wines, and his near-cult Rall White. |
