Alongside his love of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Anthony is also a huge believer in South Africa’s Pinotage. And that led to the purchase in 1996 of the Ashbourne estate, just inland from Hamilton Russell’s vineyards. He named the property after his great, great grandfather, who was Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the late 1800s. The first Ashbourne Pinotage was released in 2001, and it’s as serious an expression of this sometimes-maligned grape variety as you’ll find: a wine that impresses with its silky texture and depth of fruit, time in the bottle will allow it to flourish even more.
