About this Item

Hamilton Russell Vineyards
Pinot Noir, 2009
2 (1 x 2) 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.

Critics Ratings

‘2009 edition of local classic brighter, seemingly riper than 2008 (4 stars), with fragrant cherry, strawberry notes. Silken, supple and succulent; delicate smokiness (45% new oak) evident on finish.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*

‘Lovely black tea, signed apple wood and toasty wood spice notes lead the way, followed by racy black cherry, red currant and blackberry fruit, with a long, mineral-driven finish. This has range and depth, yet stays silky and very elegant.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2012)
