Critics Ratings
'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.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2021, 96/100
There's a light honey glow over this wine in a thoroughly Chenin-like fashion. Molten Swartland gloriousness. Such precision and cut! Great tight crystalline acidity and structure after green apples and a hint of honeysuckle. Amazing persistence.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Oct 2021)
