HAMILTON RUSSELL VINEYARDS
Hamilton Russell Vineyards is one of South Africa’s iconic wine estates. Located in the cool, maritime-influenced Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, close to the old fishing village of Hermanus, it is a leading producer of Burgundian-styled wines in the New World.
The 2020 vintage was the estate’s 40th. Since taking over in 1994, Anthony Hamilton Russell and wife Olive have propelled their wine farm into the top echelons, as a source of exemplary Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Their wines from these varieties are far removed from many of those from Chile, the US, New Zealand and Australia, showing more of a stylistic similarity to the terroir-driven wines of the Côte d’Or. Bold, ripe fruit
