About this Item
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.
This lot consists of the following wines:
Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2009 (4 x 750ml)
Hamilton Pinot Noir 2006 (2 x 750ml)

Critics Ratings
Hamilton Russell Vineyards Chardonnay 2009
'Finely fruited 2009, showing more lime, grapefruit than tropical character. Green-edged and savoury flavours comfortably carry oak: barrel fermented, 8.5 months, third new. Just 13% alc.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
Hamilton Russell Vineyards Pinot Noir 2006
‘Pure, perfumed red berry fruit in harmony with oaking (regime as for Chardonnay, as is use of inoculated native yeast), around mineral core. 2006 shaped more by fine acidity than the subtle tannins. Serious and delicately powerful, with a long future.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*
