'Like 2022 (4.5 stars, 91 pts), 2023 from ungrafted Piekenierskloof parcel, picked in 2 stages before ferment/8 months in concrete. Astonishing fruit density for just 12.5% alc, yellow apple, peach & clementine on lingering, chalky palate.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
‘Made with what Donovan Rall calls a "full-on dry ferment" in concrete eggs and full malolactic, this is a brilliant Grenache Blanc from a couple of parcels in Piekenierskloof. Stony and intense, with flavours of green olive, lime and aniseed, crunchy acidity and a lingering finish. 2025-35’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 95/100
‘Including grapes from Swartland property Kloovenburg on schist as well as 15% undergoing skin contact to achieve more texture and interest. A hint of flinty reduction before peach, apricot and pineapple. Rich and concentrated on the palate with tangy acidity and a savoury finish. Great depth of flavour. Alc: 12.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100

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. |
