About this Item

2020 Donovan Rall - Rall Wines - Ava Syrah and Ava Chenin Blanc

6 x 750ml bottles, comprising three bottles each of Ava Syrah 2020 and Ava Chenin Blanc 2020
With the focus always being on the Swartland for me; in my mind it could only be Chenin and Syrah - and after working in the region for 10 years, I was confident that I had found two sites special enough to stand alone; and to also carry my daughter's name.

Rall Ava Syrah 2020
Fermented 100% whole-bunch and matured in old oak to truly express the place and soil on which it’s grown.
Now on its 4th release, this 2020 is the most refined version of this wine to date. Very delicate aromas of blue and purple flowers, fynbos, and spice with powdery tannins and great fruit intensity. Production remains tiny at only 1440 bottles in this vintage.

Rall Ava Chenin Blanc 2020
A restrained nose of hay, herbs and yellow fruit typically associated with Chenin on schist, backed up with good acidity, mineral notes and a dry, almost pithy finish makes this vintage the most exciting to date. Production remains tiny at only 1244 bottles in this vintage.
