2017 Rall Grenache Blanc Swartland

The 2017 Grenache Blanc comes from a 0.5-hectare parcel of ungrafted vines and was matured in two concrete eggs and one amphora. It is very well defined on the nose, featuring scents of white flowers, cold granite and hints of lemon curd. The palate is very well defined, with veins of lemongrass on the entry. It is beguiling in terms of harmony and comes packed full of flavor, offering ginger and dried orange peel toward the waxy-textured finish. You can imagine half of New York's sommeliers going ga-ga for this, and rightly so, because it is simply a delicious South African white. 2019 - 2030.
