‘72% Chenin Blanc, 24% Verdelho and 4% Viognier – includes a portion of Chenin from the vineyard from which Noa below is sourced. Expressive aromatics of citrus, peach, floral perfume, herbs and a subtle reductive note while the palate has a dense core of fruit, invigorating acidity and dry finish. Poised and rather thrilling drinking.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 97/100
‘Consistently excellent blend of chenin, verdelho & drop viognier, 2022 whispers salty sea breeze & apple blossom. Real tension on palate, cut with white citrus purity. This essence preserved via older oak ageing (80%) & concrete, 10 months. Long & unfolding. WO Coastal.’ – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
‘The Rall white is an 80/20 cuvée of Swartland and Stellenbosch grapes, combining Chenin Blanc with 24% Verdelho and 4% Viognier. Showing some subtle struck match reduction, it displays flavours of citrus, beeswax and apricot, very understated oak spices and surprising weight and concentration for a wine with 12.5% alcohol. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 94/100
‘Rocketing from the glass with citrus essences and underripe peach and pineapple notes, the 2022 White Blend is fresh and complex with dusty floral essences. Medium-bodied and balanced with a delicate mineral tension, the palate displays power and finesse before ending with a spicy, mineral-laced finish and lingering kiss of phenolic bitterness. Enjoy with food. 2023-2035’ – Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 93+/100

Since then, Donovan’s wines have continued on an unbelievable upward trajectory.
