Red, 2019
The Rall Red is always held back an extra year in bottle prior to release as it is the more structured of the reds. 70% Syrah 12% Grenache 10% Carignan and 8% Cinsault raised in old French oak in pursuit of a more typical Rhone blend. There is more breadth and spice to the Red with a firmer quality of tannin, fermented with 100% whole bunches. Dark cherry, blackcurrant and plummy fruits intermingle with traces of cinnamon clove and pepper, this a full, complex red for the table.
critic reviews
Composed of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan, the 2019 Red Blend is dark ruby in the glass and offers notions of dark red berries, wild strawberries and juicy plum on the nose, followed by subtle aromas of cherry blossoms and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate is still tight with fine-grained tannins that grip the gumline, leaving behind a sensation of bitter dark chocolate and spiced red tea. The red blend concludes with a firm yet juicy finish. Enjoy it with food, especially barbecue/braai.
