Rall Wines "Rall White" Swartland White Blend 2022

Vinous - Neal Martin : 94 Points

(8/2023) The 2022 White is matured 80% in foudres and concrete egg plus 500-liter barrels. The beautiful bouquet brings white peach, yellow plum, lanolin and light resin. The palate is very refined with fine acidity, taut and fresh with a seductive, slightly resinous, phenolically rich finish that lingers in the mouth. Superb. Drinking Window 2024 - 2042.

(12/29/2023) Rocketing from the glass with citrus essences and underripe peach and pineapple notes, the 2022 White Blend is fresh and complex with dusty floral essences. Medium-bodied and balanced with a delicate mineral tension, the palate displays power and finesse before ending with a spicy, mineral-laced finish and lingering kiss of phenolic bitterness. Enjoy with food. Drink Date: 2023 - 2035.

Tim Atkin : 94 Points

(9/2023) The Rall white is an 80/20 cuvee of Swartland and Stellenbosch grapes, combining Chenin Blanc with 24% Verdelho and 4% Viognier. Showing some subtle struck match reduction, it displays flavours of citrus, beeswax and apricot, very understated oak spices and surprising weight and concentration for a wine with 12.5% alcohol. 2024-30.
