Richness, texture, streamlined acidity, salt. The perfect white wine.

Absolutely terrific Swartland red. 88 Syrah, 12 Grenache. Too bad only 7 barrels of the stuff!

In between a nice Châteauneuf and Grange des Pères nosewise! Beautifull grainy tanins reminding nice nebbiolo. #RallRocks @maitredechai

I met Rall at "the beautiful south" conference in London last fall, now I'm curious if the wine will "wow" me again

Another stellar wine from the new and rising South African wine scene. 75/25 Syrah/ Grenache. Aged in old, neutral barrels. Dense fruit with plenty of savory character, undergrowth and some forgiving red fruit coming from the Grenache. Intense, layered and long.

2014 en 2016. Ouvert probablement trop tôt, il s'est avéré fermé, quoique très équilibré en bouche, manque de finesse. S'améliore petit à petit après aération...
