Grape Variety:
Southern Right was founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell in 1994, creating a separate property from Hamilton Russell Vineyards, specialising in a more refined style of cooler-climate, clay-grown Pinotage. The aim was to redefine and re-energise the national grape. Sauvignon Blanc, was chosen as the white wine partner, based on its proven affinity for the area. The property is named after the Southern Right Whales which frequent Walker Bay (at closest just over 2 km from the property) and which are emblematic of the strongly maritime growing conditions.
Made in a way ensuring the personality of site and soil is not over-ridden by
the forceful character of the variety, this wine exhibits the typical Southern
Right balance of “Old World” minerality and length with hints of “New World”
palate coverage and body. The 2021 is a wine that favours origin expressive
individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of pure, pungent varietal
aroma. A significant percentage of fruit from iron and clay-rich soil has added a
mid-palate structural component and additional overall complexity to this wine.
The Sandstone soils have contributed their typical bright, tensile character and a
marked minerality
