Hamilton Russell Vineyards Wine
Hamilton Russell Vineyards,
one of the most southerly
wine Estates in Africa and one
of the closest to the sea - is
located in the beautiful, cool,
maritime Hemel-en-Aarde
Valley appellation, just behind
the old fishing village of
Hermanus. The Estate
specialises in producing highly
individual, terroir driven Pinot
noir and Chardonnay, which
are widely regarded as the
best in South Africa and
among the best in the New
World.
Founder, Tim Hamilton Russell
purchased the undeveloped
170 hectare property in 1975,
after an exhaustive search for
the most southerly site on
which to make South Africa?s
top cool climate wines from a
selection of noble varieties.
His son Anthony Hamilton
Russell, who took over in
1991 (finally buying the
property in 1994), narrowed
the range to Pinot noir and
Chardonnay only and
registered Hamilton Russell
Vineyards as an Estate,
committing to work only with
grapes from their terroir.
Extensive soil research
initiated in 1994 identified 52
hectares of stony, clay-rich,
shale-derived soil as optimal
for the individual, origin
expressive style they aim for
and all plantings have now
been limited to this soil type.
Anthony with winemaker
Hannes Storm and viticulturist
Johan Montgomery are
completely dedicated to
expressing the personality of
the Hamilton Russell
Vineyards terroir in their
wines. Tiny yields and intense
worldwide demand keep the
elegant, highly individual,
Estate grown Pinot noir and
Chardonnay in very short
supply. |
