Why do we love this wine?
This is a cult South African wine, made by the genius winemaker Donovan Rall. The maker himself called this, “The Rall White I’ve made with the most finesse.”

Concentrated
He chose to exclude chardonnay from the blend for the first time this vintage, leaving it up to chenin blanc, verdelho and viognier to work their magic. The result is muscular but not heavy. Concentrated flavours are lifted by a taut acidity. It’s seen some very gentle oak, giving a hint of creaminess to complement the peach and salinity. Master of Wine Tim Atkin says of this, “World class wine at an affordable price.” No objections from us!
Reviews
Tim Atkin
Master of Wine
“The Rall white I’ve made with the most finesse” is its creator’s verdict on the 2017. Marrying Chenin with Verdelho and a splash of Viognier, it’s a subtle, allusive, gently wooded wine with bread and baking spice notes, a hint of peach and a core of chiselled acidity. A world class white wine at an eminently affordable price. 2019-27.”
