Southern Right Pinotage 2022

Southern Right is a small Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc specialist located on a strikingly beautiful property in the cool, maritime, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, just behind the old fishing village of Hermanus. The wines are named after the rare Southern Right whales, which frequent the cool South Atlantic Walker Bay. Founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell in 1994, Southern Right’s aim was to produce a serious, age-worthy Pinotage (South Africa’s unique red grape variety)  as a fine wine, not simply as a varietal expression, combining a distinct South African flavor with classic styling and refinement.

Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault (known locally as Hermitage) and is South Africa’s own unique red grape. In the hands of Southern Right, they’re re-defining this varietal with this intense, classically styled and expressive wine, packed with complex berry fruit, underplayed with spicy notes and a tannic framework that is perfectly integrated.
