The Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir is a benchmark South African expression, defined by its cool maritime setting in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and low-vigour, clay-rich soils. With naturally tiny yields under 35 hl/ha and a focus on terroir over fruit-forward ripeness, the wine delivers a savoury, structured style of Pinot Noir. Expect dark, spicy aromatics, layered with complex fruit perfume and a subtle "primal" edge. On the palate, it’s tight and finely tannic, balancing generosity with length and poise. A distinctive, site-driven Pinot from one of the southernmost estates in Africa.
