"Donovan Rall’s Grenache is a wine that will repay a degree of patience. Now in its second vintage, it’s a taut, pithy style from a one-hectare parcel on the Paardeberg, with clove and tobacco leaf notes from 100% whole bunches, mouth-watering acidity and flavours of cranberry, redcurrant and allspice. 2027-31" 93pts Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026
""The sophomore 2025 Grenache Noir was picked a little later than the maiden vintage as Rall feels the fruit needed more warmth. It has a refined bouquet with wild strawberry, rose petal and a touch of Japanese wakame. The palate is medium-bodied with a subtle pepperiness courtesy of the 100% whole bunch. Very well defined, with exquisite balance towards the finish, this is a superb Grenache that will be difficult to resist in its youth." 94pts Neal Martin Vinous 9/26
