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
Made reductively in order to maximize the fruit personality of the vintage, the 2019 shows more marked fruit aromatics than usual, while maintaining the typical Southern Right balance of Old World minerality and length with hints of New World palate coverage and body. 2019 is a wine that favours 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 addition overall complexity to this wine.
