Tasting notes
The Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc from the Winery Hamilton Russell Vineyards is an exceptionally fine and balanced Sauvignon Blanc from the Walker Bay wine region in South Africa.
In the glass, the Southern Right gleams a radiant straw yellow with slightly golden reflections. On the nose it shows a complex bouquet. Initially, aromas of juicy gooseberries, as well as notes of green and freshly ground white pepper, pamper the senses. Gradually, nuances of lemon peel and melon appear.
On the palate the Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc from Hamilton-Russell impresses with its medium body, which perfectly harmonizes with the variety of aromas and the refreshing texture. The mineral finish completes the special taste experience.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
