Rall Cinsault Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Wellington
R295
‘Donovan Rall's Cinsault Blanc will achieve Old Vine Project certification with the 2024 vintage, confirming the status of this venerable Wellington parcel. Fermented and aged in old barrels for the first time, this is a focused, pithy, low-alcohol rarity with wax, citrus and yellow apple fruit, notes of aniseed and fennel and a textured finish. 2024-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100
‘Grapes from a tiny block in Wellington. Matured for seven months in older 300-litre barrels. Floral perfume, white peach and citrus on the nose. The palate is tightly wound with a great line of acidity and pithy texture, the finish nicely salty. The most vinosity of any release to date. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100

| 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. |
