‘Violets & St Joseph lilies aplenty thanks to more syrah (78%) & usual harmonising grenache noir & carignan, dash cinsault in 2021. Lively red berries & plums on velvet tannins ex foudre & old barriques, 11 months. Like 2020 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), released a year later than others. Also in 1.5L, as White.’ – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
‘Released a year later than the rest of the Rall reds to allow the tannins to integrate, this is a serious, structured assemblage of Syrah with 13% Grenache, 7% Carignan and 2% Cinsault. Sappy and grippy, it marries blackberry and damson fruit flavours with understated oak spices and a sturdy, age-worthy finish. 2025-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
‘78% Syrah, 13% Grenache, 7% Carignan and 2% Cinsault. Matured for 12 months in older 225- and 300-litre barrels. Red and black berries, floral perfume, fynbos and a little undergrowth on the nose. Medium bodied with fresh acidity fine tannins. Balanced and lightly dry on the finish. Very appealing with a nice crunchy quality to it.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 94/100

| 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. |
