Note di degustazione
Donovan Rall's 2023 Coastal Region White is 71% Chenin Blanc, 26% Verdelho and 3% Viognier. It was first produced in 2008. The formula behind the blending seeks to preserve acidity, although this dynamic winemaker allows malolactic fermentation in his white wines. The Verdelho adds the freshness with cool aromas of crisp green apple and kiwi. This is a lovely wine with a crunchy or snappy quality, and the focus here is squarely on that balanced freshness. This bottle offers outstanding value.

Rall’s flagship white: 71% Chenin, 26% Verdelho and 3% Viognier. Substantial wine with many layers. Exciting! Great tension for the money! VGV (JR)
A medium-bodied and saline white that has notes of seashells, jasmine, green apples and fresh apricots. Crisp yet textured with a mouthwatering freshness. 71% chenin blanc, 26% verdelho and 3% viognier. Better from 2025.
The 2023 White is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and Viognier, matured in 2,000-liter foudre and concrete. It has a well-defined and vibrant bouquet with peach skin, dried honey and subtle gravelly scents, accented by a hint of chamomile. The palate has a lovely honeyed texture, displaying notes of apricot and vanilla pod, with white pepper and orange rind developing toward the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle so it can just "stretch its arms." This has potential.
