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 | Syrah and carignan are the dominant grapes in this wine. Sourced from schist-rich soils in Riebeek River, grenache comes from granite-rich vineyards in Paardeberg and cinsault from a coffee-cliff vineyard west of Malmesbury. |

| Vinification | The grapes are harvested manually and this is followed by a whole-bunch fermentation. This is followed by an 11-month aging in older French oak barrels. Before release, the wine stays in bottle for one year. |
