This is so expressive, exuding black and white pepper, dried herbs, black berry fruit and some sweet tobacco. Medium-bodied, peppery and alive on the palate, with very fine and tight tannins and beautiful tension throughout. Syrah, grenache, carignan and cinsault, each separately whole bunch fermented.
The Rall Red always sees an extra year in bottle to help the tannins resolve. 70% Syrah 12% Grenache 10% Carignan and 8% Cinsault raised in used French oak. A typical Rhone blend. The 2021, from a cooler vintage, has exquisite balance. Finely tuned red fruits with a snap of pepper and clove and fynbos, the core of lush dark fruit never overwhelms. A beautiful wine, this is the first vintage where some of the “Ava” fruit made its way in to the blend. Approximately 80% of the wine comes from Schist vineyards.
