Tim Atkin MW:
“Donovan Rall makes this 60/40 Swartland and Stellenbosch cuvée from a combination of mostly Chenin Blanc with 58% Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Verdelho, Roussanne and Semillon, ageing the result in larger, older oak. Stony, leesy and flinty, with pear, beeswax and thatch notes and a hint of stone fruit sweetness. 2023-27
93/100”

Production by Donovan Rall is small and the wines are unapologetically bold without being overly heroic. Blending different cultivars from different areas, partnered with judicious use of new oak, gives the wines complexity and a sense of luxuriousness, both on the nose and on the palate. Importantly, Donovan manages to create balanced wines, even at the fuller-bodied end of the spectrum. Very classy multi-regional wines in the best tradition of the “new” world.
