Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc 2025 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Cool coastal air shapes this white from Southern Right, a Sauvignon Blanc grown across the Western Cape with a home in Walker Bay and fruit drawn from cooler pockets like Elgin. It leans into the crisp, herb-driven side of the grape rather than the tropical, and a small portion sees used oak while the majority stays in stainless steel, a choice that keeps the freshness intact while adding a touch of texture.
The nose is precise and green in the best sense, with grapefruit, nettle and dandelion over a faint earthy undertone, and a suggestion of green papaya and exotic fruit filling in behind. On the palate it runs linear and crisp, more about delineation than weight, with bright acidity carrying through to a sapid, savory finish that keeps pulling you back. Elegant and cleanly made, it rewards a chill and a full glass.

Expert Reviews
The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc comes from the clayey Cape Coast, plus granitic soils in Elgin, matured 8% in used oak and the rest in stainless steel. It has a well-defined bouquet with grapefruit, nettle, dandelion and subtle earthy scents. The palate is well balanced, crisp and linear, with fine delineation. Quite an elegant Sauvignon Blanc, it boasts a precise, sapid finish that urges you back for more. This is very well made and very delicious.
The Southern Right 2024 Sauvignon Blanc (a Cape Coast wine) is light and fragrant in a style that is somewhere between the New World and South Africa. Some of the fruit comes from cool-climate Elgin. In fact, fruit is sourced from across 29 different blocks. This is one of the bread-and-butter wines of the estate. There are notes of green papaya and exotic fruit. Texturally, the wine is thin on the mid-palate, with a good kick of acidity to close. The aim is to avoid excessive Sauvignon Blanc flavors but keep its zesty green character.
