About this Item

2015–2017 Pinotage & Pinot Noir Vertical Collection
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.

Ashbourne Pinotage vertical – 2015, 2016, 2017, packed in a 3 bottle wooden case.
This is a pre-release of our first Ashbourne Pinotage Verticals of vintages long sold out and aged on the property. For the keen followers of our Ashbourne Pinotage, we released only 100 three-bottle verticals the 2015, 2016 and 2017. While many enthusiasts have cellared Ashbourne Pinotage over the years, there are still many who only encounter the wine at a more youthful stage. This vertical allows enthusiasts to really get to know our Pinotage and its story of place over time and through different life stages.

While many enthusiasts have cellared Hamilton Russell Vineyards Pinot Noir over the years, there are still a lot who only encounter the wine at a youthful stage. These verticals allow enthusiasts to really get to know our Pinot Noir and its story of place over time and through different life stages. The verticals are sold out from the farm and this particular Vertical is from Anthony Hamilton Russell’s private collection.
