About the winemaker Donovan Rall is counted among the best winemakers in Swartland and South Africa. In everything, he is an impressive personality and that is not only due to his imposing stature. After graduating from Stellenbosch University in 2005, he first decided to travel before returning and settling in Swartland in 2007. Here he went in search of old small vineyards, from which he makes natural wines. The fruit from the different parcels is always vinified separately and then blended. This is where Donovan's talent comes into play; he is probably one of the best blenders in the Cape. All his wines are made naturally.

Details

Vineyard	The chenin blanc for this wine comes from three different vineyards, two old vineyards (bushvines) on Paardeberg and one guided vineyard on a schist soil in Riebeeksrivier. Verdelho comes from a vineyard with a lot of red clay in Helderberg, while viognier comes from granite-rich soil in Voor-Paardeberg.
Vinification	The vinification is very natural with wild yeasts and fermentation takes place in old 225 liter, 300 and 400 liter barrels. The wine stays on the lie for 10 months, after which it is blended and bottled.
