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, this is a wine that favors origin-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 additional overall complexity to this wine.
Founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell in 1994, Southern Right’s aim is to produce a serious, age-worthy Pinotage (South Africa’s unique red grape variety) combining a distinct South African fruit and flavor expression with classic styling and refinement. In 2005, a stunningly beautiful 1,125- acre property on the western border of Hamilton Russell Vineyards was purchased as a long-term home for Southern Right, and in 2009, a 350-ton “Overberg” style cellar, tailormade for Southern Right Pinotage and Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc was completed on the property just in time for the 2009 harvest. Southern Right, whose vineyards are farmed organically, is certified sustainable by the Integrated Production of Wine, and has also been recognized as a champion of biodiversity by the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative. The wines are named after the rare Southern Right whales, which frequent the cool South Atlantic Walker Bay, two miles from the vineyards. With each bottle sold, Southern Right makes a contribution to their conservation or conservation in the area.
