FINE & EVERYDAY WINE
2020 Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, South Africa, 75cl
Southern Right is re-defining Pinotage with this intense classically styled, clay-grown wine, packed with complex berry fruit, beautiful tannins and subtle wood spice. Full ripeness and the longer hang-time afforded by cooler sites, combined with the complex, more classic fruit aromas and structure resulting from clay-rich soil, make this wine a highly individual expression of South Africa’s unique grape variety.
“The best South African pinotage wines to buy. Southern Right, from the Hamilton-Russell stable in the pretty Hemel-en-Aarde Valley of the Western Cape, is another pinotage of note, with the 2020 a vibrant, less tub-thumping mouthful, with fine blackberry and fruit.” Jane Macquitty, The Times Online, March 2025
“Emul Ross may be better known for his Pinots but he has a sensitive touch with Pinotage too. This concentrated, textured example has violet and vanilla spice aromas, bramble and blueberry flavours and appealing texture.” 93 Tim Atkin MW, South African Report 2021

Carlos Lucas is the man behind a portfolio of quality wines from across Portugal, including the Douro and the region closest to his heart – the Dão. A pioneer of modern-style Portuguese wines and a talented winemaker with nearly 30 years of experience, he has replanted the vineyards at Quinta do Ribeiro Santo where his Dão wines are created from the area’s thin granitic soils. His commitment to the region was affirmed when he acquired Quinta de Santa Maria in Cabanas de Viriato, a 10ha plot of old vines planted with Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrochiero and Jaen. The vineyards are worked using an integrated crop management system, with the grapes harvested by hand in small boxes and the carefully selected to preserve their varietal expression. Carlos’s other projects take him across the country and with his latest addition, ‘A River Runs Through It’ from the Douro, we can see his immeasurable talent on display once again.
