Southern Right Pinotage (750ml)

Southern Right is re-defining Pinotage with this intense classically styled, clay-grown wine, packed with complex berry fruit, beautiful tannins and subtle wood spice. Full ripeness and the longer hang-time afforded by cooler sites, combined with the complex, more classic fruit aromas and structure resulting from clay-rich soil, make this wine a highly individual expression of South Africa’s unique grape variety.

Appearance: Bright cherry red with deep coloured tears. 

Nose: Spicy nose with blackberry and black plums, earthy undertones and rosemary. 

Taste: Spicy flavour attack, very lively texture with juicy acidity

Finish: A long fruity aftertaste. 

Food pairings: Delicious with underdone red and pink meat, braised fruit vegetables and even fresh white mould cheeses.

About the producer: Championed as the Burgundy of South Africa, Hamilton Russell vineyards occupy one of the most Southern estates in Africa. Hemel-en-Aarde Valley has a cool, maritime climate which delivers the perfect conditions for wonderfully austere and understated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
