Hamilton Russell
Championed as the Burgundy of South Africa, Hamilton Russell vineyards occupy one of the most Southern estates in Africa. Hemel-en-Aarde Valley has a cool, maritime climate which delivers the perfect conditions for wonderfully austere and understated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Anthony Hamilton Russell and his wife Olive produce wonderful terroir-driven wines that are not afraid to challenge their Burgundian rivals. In addition to this estate, Anthony Hamilton Russell also owns the Ashbourne and Southern Right estates. The Ashbourne estate is best known for its Pinotage which is critically acclaimed to be the best Pinotage in the world. Whereas the Southern Right estate is a tiny appellation, best known for its wonderfully aromatic and fruit driven Sauvignon Blanc.
