Friday Night Whites. Picked up this little southern beauty from the grocery based solely on location and label - yes, that’s me, basic AF. Anyways, Southern Right is a winery based on the southwest tip of South Africa that specializes in Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc. The 2017 SvB is a dry offering of 10% Hemel-en-Aarde Valley grapes with the rest being a blend of other Walker Bay SvB with ~14k cases produced. Most of the grapes in the area grow in a sandstone/clay soil in a maritime climate, yielding a nice old world flavor profile to the wines, (think acid and mineral). Wine has been grown in South Africa since the 1650s, but only recently with the ending of Apartheid, has the industry been able to thrive. Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Colombard are the most grown varietals. Drank this one, on its own, chilled and unpaired. Remember to drink this now - SvB is best when young. ~$16 | #sauvingnonblanc #southafricanwine #fridaynightwhites

On the eyes: Pale light yellow, clear, light stain, med tears, no gas/floc.

On the nose: Delicate gooseberry and quince, sweet lychee, some floral notes and wet slate. Med alcohol.

On the tongue: Med+ acid, light tannin, med alcohol, juicy and round. Quince, asian pear, persimmon, and lychee rounding out to a bit of leafy notes and high mineralty. Really nice, long, pleasant finish. Not your classic SvB! — 8 years ago

Orange blossoms and ultra ripe apricots flooding out of the glass.
The orangeness carries onto the palate as well. Acid is a bit lower than I expected, which might not be a bad thing with all of that nice orange citrus flavor but also not as clean and refreshing as other svb examples. — 4 years ago

I smell some lemon pithe, a waft of pine needle, and something more earthy but at the same time sweet - like dried up flower blossom honey or candy cap mushrooms. The earthiness, lemon and pine notes all carry onto the tongue- What you smell is what you get. I like it because its not conceded or elegant - it's almost a hearty version of SVB. Finishes with a lot of chalk/ limestone- give it a good slosh around the jowels and it develops a froth as if it had some sodium carbonate in it.

A very reasonable $23 at ABC — 4 years ago

Dried prunes, dark berries, musty, autumn leaves, and eucalyptus. Similar to the SVB, stems and cool. Tinge of sweetness on the nose. Apparently a bit of TCA. Not entirely sure but experienced Leroy tasters claimed something was off — 8 years ago
