Southern Right was founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell in 1994, creating a separate property from Hamilton Russell Vineyards, specialising in a more refined style of cooler-climate, clay-grown Pinotage. The aim was to redefine and re-energise the national grape. Sauvignon Blanc, was chosen as the white wine partner, based on its proven affinity for the area. The property is named after the Southern Right Whales which frequent Walker Bay (at closest just over 2 km from the property) and which are emblematic of the strongly maritime growing conditions.
 
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 2023 is a wine that favours origin expressive individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of simple, pungent varietal aroma. A significant percentage of fruit from iron and clay-rich soil has added a textural and structural component and additional overall complexity to this wine. The sandstone soils have contributed their typical bright, tensile character and a marked, saline minerality. This is Sauvignon blanc as fine wine, not Sauvignon blanc as simply a varietal expression.
 
 Crisp & refreshing It offers a harmonious blend of ripe kiwi and passionfruit, balanced by a lively acidity that brings freshness and vibrancy to the tasting experience. The mid-palate introduces a subtle minerality, reminiscent of wet stones, adding a layer of sophistication and a unique sense of place.
