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 tight "Old World" minerality and length with hints of "New World” texture and body. The 2025 is a wine that favours individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of simple, pungent varietal aroma. A significant percentage of fruit from iron and clay-rich soil (46%) has added a textural and structural component and additional overall complexity to this wine. Granitic soils (28%) have added openness and perfume, while sandstone soils (26%) have contributed their typical bright, tensile character and a marked, saline minerality. Residual sugar: 2.7g/l. Bottled at 13.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Complex with notes of white flesh fruit like pear, citrus notes like lime and a definitive salinity.

Palate: Very lively on entry with predominantly citrus notes. Orange blossom, lemon zest and limes shine through. Mid-palate is a bit more mineral and chalky in texture.

Finish: Very refreshing with beautifully weighted acidity. A short to medium finish with a salty almost dusty finish.

Southern Right, located on the Western border of Hamilton Russell Vineyards in Hemel-en-Aarde, was founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell in 1994. The 448 hectare property specialises in Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are named after the Southern Right whales, which pass through Walker Bay, just a few kilometers from the vineyards. Southern Right is committed to conservation and each bottle of wine sold contributes to their efforts.
