"The Rall white is an 80/20 cuvée of Swartland and Stellenbosch grapes, combining Chenin Blanc with 24% Verdelho and 4% Viognier. Showing some subtle struck match reduction, it displays flavors of citrus, beeswax, and apricot, very understated oak spices, and surprising weight and concentration for a wine with 12.5% alcohol."
