Pinot Noir 2017

According to the experts at Wine Advocate, the team at Hamilton Russell “create the best Pinot Noir in South Africa bar none.” This view is widely upheld throughout the wine industry.

Hamilton Russell Vineyards produce long, complex and beautifully intricate wines; somewhat like an English country garden maze that you wouldn’t mind getting lost in. The Pinot Noir 2017 is no exception, displaying spiced plum crumble, rooibos, tangy raspberry, strawberry, cherry liqueur, rose petals, blueberry muffin, dried wild mushrooms and cured meat. Graceful and Burgundian, the 2017 vintage has a beautiful freshness and energy to it that seems to make time stand still.

Located right next to the sea behind the fishing village of Hermanus in Hemel-en-Aarde Valley – an aptly named heaven on Earth – Hamilton Russell is one of South Africa’s finest wine producers. That maritime influence gives the wine a real crispness that pairs wonderfully with its inherent earthiness. It will make and exceptional match to earthy stews, game, chestnuts and wild mushrooms.
