Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc is a refined, terroir-driven white from South Africa's Walker Bay region, crafted to express the character of three of the Cape's coolest maritime-influenced growing areas rather than varietal intensity alone. Elegant, precise and beautifully textured, this is South African Sauvignon Blanc at its most sophisticated. Why You'll Love It Southern Right sources fruit from Hemel-en-Aarde, Walker Bay and Elgin, three of the Cape's most celebrated cool-climate regions, blending them to create a wine that favours subtlety, texture and balance over overt pungency. Grown on a mix of iron-rich clay, granite and sandstone soils, each site contributes something distinct: clay adds structure and depth, granite brings aromatic lift and openness, while sandstone imparts bright tension and saline minerality. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc of real complexity and restraint. Vineyard & Production Fruit is sourced from vineyards in Hemel-en-Aarde, Walker Bay and Elgin, grown on iron-rich clay, granite and sandstone soils. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and purity. No oak is used, and the wine is bottled with minimal intervention to maintain clarity and precision. Tasting Notes Brilliant straw-yellow with green reflections. The nose is restrained yet expressive, with aromas of citrus peel, fresh herbs and white flowers, and a dusty mineral edge. Crisp and elegant on the palate, with ripe acidity and a fine, tensile texture. Flavours of grapefruit, lemon zest and subtle vegetal notes lead to a long, savoury finish with a touch of saline complexity. Perfect Pairings Ideal as an aperitif or paired with raw seafood, fresh spring salads, pickled fish, marinated vegetables and soft goat's cheese. Best served chilled at 10 degrees. The Blend Sauvignon Blanc 93%, Semillon 7%
Wildeberg Coterie Grenache Blanc - Chenin Blanc 2023
A textural wine made from Chenin Blanc sourced from old bush vines in Franschhoek and Grenache Blanc from younger vines in Paarl. The nose is ripe with peach, tropical fruits and hints of jasmine. The palate shows texture and generosity from the old bush vine Chenin, veiled with white spice and exotic notes from the younger, alluring Grenache Blanc, the whole ultimately finishing rich, yet fresh and textural. Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available to us across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region, from which cuvées the eyes are plucked to make Wildeberg and the Terroir Series releases. In doing so there remains a small yet definitive expression of all the vineyards we worked with, and its these cuvees that are again selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg. Chenin and Grenache Blanc really complement each other very well. Both varietals love the Coastal Region’s arid soils and Mediterranean climate due to their inherent tolerance to drought. Both components were naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels. 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels. Food match This is a rich, textural wine whose body and exotic jasmine notes would ably marry with gentle Malay and Thai green fish curries, dishes with lemongrass and coriander, or just simply braai-ed linefish
