Rall, AVA Chenin Blanc 2023 – R 550
‘Grapes from vineyards on schist. Matured in older barrel. Peach, orange, straw and ginger plus some leesy complexity. The palate is super-rich: dense fruit, coated acidity, the finish savoury and slightly grippy. Layers of flavour.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'From schist-grown vines, extraordinary balance between rich, mouthcoating fruit & tensile acid. 2023 masses of thatch, oatmeal, yellow apple & lemon tart in body that's focused & lingering. All at just 12.5%. Wholebunch fermented, 10 months older-oaked.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (94/100)
Rall, NOA Chenin Blanc – R 550
‘Grapes from a Paardeberg vineyard on granite. Matured in concrete egg. Compelling and strikingly distinct aromatics of pear, peach and lime plus some flinty reduction while the palate is wonderfully well delineated with zesty acidity and a super-dry finish. Linear, taut and absolutely mouth-watering. Alc: 12%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
'Yin to Ava's yang, 2023 lighter, more delicate expression of chenin, from same 1960s Paardeberg block on granite as 2022 (4.5 stars, 94 pts). Concrete-only ageing, 10 months, allows flint, lime, white peach & seashell nuances to shine. Zesty & fine, trim 12% alc adds to fresh feel.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
Rall, White 2023 – R 375
‘71% Chenin Blanc, 26% Verdelho and 3% Viognier. Matured for 10 months in a combination of concrete egg, foudre and older barrels. Subtle and alluring aromatics of pear, peach, citrus, fynbos and again a touch of reduction while the palate is relatively lean and tense – very pure and focused, the finish long and dry. A wine of great refinement. Alc: 13%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
'Chenin-based Cape Blend builds on its track record for excellence in 2023 with usual partners verdelho & perfuming splash viognier (26/3). Coastal grapes, as for 2022 (5 stars, 95 pts), bring sea breeze & acacia blossom notes to the bouquet, bunch ferment in oak & concrete lends gentle shape to textured & tangy peach & granadilla palate. Salty acid holds it together.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (94/100)
