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 grapes for this wine come from an old vineyard in Piekenierskloof, the area in Swartland where a lot of grenache noir can be found, but also grenache blanc. The harvest took place at two different times. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | No oak is used in any way in this wine. Concrete eggs and amphorae are used. Whole-bunch pressing, after which the must enters the eggs and amphorae directly. After 6-8 months the must is blended and bottled to preserve the fraîcheur of the grape and prevent any oxidation. |
