Description
In a nutshell:
An outstanding Sauvignon Blanc from the cooler Walker Bay region of South Africa.
The lowdown:
Made reductively in order to maximize the fruit personality of the vintage, while maintaining the typical Southern Right balance of Old World minerality and length with hints of New World palate coverage and body. There's a real expressive individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of pure, pungent varietal aroma. A significant percentage of fruit from clay-rich soil has added an intense mid-palate structural component and addition overall complexity to this wine.
The Producer:
Founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell in 1994, Southern Right concentrate on two wines. On the stony, clay-rich vineyards, the cooling maritime influence of the local climate South Africa's own red grape, Pinotage is well suited for making classically styled wines. While on their lighter soils Sauvignon Blanc's ability to show its complex mineral character becomes the focus. The estate is named after the rare Southern Right whales, which frequent the cool South Atlantic Walker Bay, just a few kilometres from the vineyards.
When to drink:
Pairs well with fresh fish dishes, or things like a goats cheese tart.
