Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc 2025 (750ml)
Product price
$16.99
Description
Southern Right's 2024 Sauvignon Blanc draws fruit from multiple blocks across Walker Bay's Cape Coast and the cooler Elgin district. The wine sees minimal oak (8% in used barrels, the rest stainless steel), a restraint that lets the varietal's essential character shine through.
The bouquet opens with grapefruit, nettle, and dandelion alongside subtle earthiness, while the palate displays a crisp, linear structure with fine definition. Green papaya and exotic fruit notes emerge alongside the wine's characteristic zesty green backbone, balanced by bracing acidity that sharpens the finish. There's an elegance here that avoids the loud, obvious Sauvignon Blanc register, instead favoring precision and sapidity. This is a deftly made wine that rewards attention, with enough textural subtlety and drive to keep you reaching back to the 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.
