About this Item

Hamilton Russell Vineyards
Pinot Noir, 2013
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Located behind the old fishing village of Hermanus, is one of the most southerly wine Estates in Africa, Hamilton Russell. The estate was purchased in 1975 by Tim Hamilton Russell and in 1991 his son, Anthony Hamilton Russell, took over and immediately narrowed their range down to only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This proved to be a masterstroke and made the Hemel-en-Aarde valley notorious for producing the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in South Africa and a recognised expression outside of Burgundy.

2013 was a standout vintage with rich, generous, sumptuous wines displaying great depth of fruit and structure.

Critics Ratings

‘Pure, sweet strawberry, cherry fragrance with less common minty note matched by similar delicate flavours on the 2013. Usual silky charm presently overshadowed by slightly angular structure. May settle, harmonise with a few years’ cellaring.’  - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2015, 4*

‘Distinctive and alluring, with sassafras, cinnamon, black tea and briar patch aromas all unfurling slowly, while the core offers silky, refined cherry, plum and raspberry fruit flavors. The long, spice-infused finish shows a nicely coiled tension that should unwind in the cellar.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Sept 2015)
