Donovan Rall - Rall Wines Collection - Noa Chenin Blanc & Ava Syrah 2021

Noa Chenin Blanc 2021:
Noa, the maiden release, showcases a special 2.1 hectare vineyard planted in the 1960s on granite soils. The selected Chenin grapes were harvested earlier, fermented, and aged in a concrete egg, adding texture while maintaining freshness. The resulting wine exhibits tension, fine texture, and vibrant acidity reminiscent of lime.

Ava Syrah 2021:
The Ava Syrah is made from two Schist vineyards around the Riebeeksrivier and the Kasteelberg regions in the Swartland. It is a tiny selection of Syrah on the most extreme and low yielding sites. Fermented with 100% whole bunches and matured in seasoned French oak to truly express the place and soil on which it is grown. Now in its fifth release, this 2021 is one of the freshest, but at the same time, one of the most structured vintages to date. The palate is dense with real fruit intensity and a long savoury finish.
