Tasting note
The Rall white wine is an 80/20 cuvée from Swartland and Stellenbosch. It shows a subtle reduction of matches, aromas of citrus fruits, beeswax and apricots, very subtle oak spice and surprising weight and concentration.
Culinary recommendation
A very good accompaniment to goat cheese crostini with fig chutney, grilled tuna with citrus fruit jam and coriander or pulp salad with wasabi aioli
Vinification
Donovan Rall's flagship wine, the Rall White 2022, is another beauty. The blend of Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and Viognier reflects the time and trend towards more precise, age-appropriate white wines. In the beginning, it was primarily about more structured wines, similar to the older Palladius vintages. 2017 was the first vintage in which Chardonnay was removed from the blend in favor of a higher Verdelho content. It is an amazingly versatile variety and Donovan's secret weapon. It increases the acid content by at least one gram and is not completely malolactically developed, so that it is nice and crunchy without losing texture. The components are aged separately, the Verdelho and Viognier in 500-liter barrels and the chenin in used barriques. No new oak is used at all.
