96 points “Shows concentrated red berry fruit and sweet and spicy notes on the palate with velvety tannins and structure for the long haul. Still ultra-youthful it needs two or three years but will keep several decades.” – Decanter
95 points “The latest in an impressive run of Pinot Noir releases from the ever-youthful Emul Ross. Stylishly oaked in 29% new barrels it's savoury and spicy with 12% whole bunches sinewy tannins and a core of plum raspberry and dark cherry fruit.” – Tim Atkin MW
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. Writing for Decanter Andy Howard MW describes them as “one of the leading producers of Burgundian-styled wines in the Southern Hemisphere” and their wines as “far removed from many of those coming from Chile New Zealand the US and Australia showing more of a stylistic similarity to the terroir driven wines of the Côte d’Or.”
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. Each one has a beautiful freshness and energy to it that seems to make time stand still. The Pinot Noir 2021 is no exception reminding us of top-flight Morey a little. Expect spiced plum crumble blueberry muffin rooibos tangy raspberry strawberry cherry liqueur rose petals dried wild mushrooms cassis and cured meat seasoned with sea salt.
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 their Pinot Noir a real crispness that pairs wonderfully with the inherent earthiness. This vegan-friendly wine will make an exceptional match for earthy stews game chestnuts and wild mushrooms.
