(Tim Atkin MW Score 96) The Swartland and Stellenbosch are the twin sources of this consistently outstanding white blend from Donovan Rall, made from a cuvée of Chenin Blanc with 32% Verdelho and a splash of Viognier. Nuanced, understated and focused, with wax, lanolin and aniseed top notes and a palate of citrus, pear and peach skin. Taut and refreshing.

Blend: Chenin blanc, Verdelho, Chardonnay, Viognier

Vineyards: Mostly Swartland (Paardeberg) and some Stellenbosch (Bottelary and Helderberg)

Soil: Decomposed granite and some gravel

Vinification: The grapes are picked as early as possible and rushed to the cellar where depending on the varietal it could either be crushed and destemmed or transferred directly into a tiny manually opperated basket press to be proccessed whole bunch. The unsettled juice now goes into older french barrels with nothing but sulphur added at this stage. Fermentation occurs naturally without the addition of any yeasts or nutrients and usually takes between 3 to 9 months to be completed depending on the variety. The wine stays on the lees in barrel with regular battonage for 10 months before blending and bottling.
