Southern Right
In 1994 Anthony Hamilton-Russell founded Southern Right Cellars as a Pinotage specialist convinced that Pinotage has the intrinsic qualities to produce truly world-class wine with a distinct South African expression and typicity. As an early ripening grape it is Anthony’s belief that Pinotage will perform best in cooler maritime areas where a longer slower ripening season will afford fully developed tannins and a greater fruit complexity. In partnership with winemaker Kevin Grant the team initiated plantings on four carefully chosen clay rich sites in the cool maritime Walker bay appellation.
Description
Southern Right is redefining Pinotage with this intense, classically styled wine, expressing a variety of ancient soils and packed with complex berry fruit, beautiful tannins and subtle spice. Full ripeness at lower alcohol and the longer hang-time afforded by cooler more marginal sites, combined with the complex, more classic fruit aromas and structure, resulting from both granitic and clay-rich soil, make this wine a highly individual expression of South Africa’s unique grape variety.
Food Pairing
Marinated lamb to Cape Malay or Cajun-spiced ‘blackened’ fish.
