#52 - Top 10093 Points - Wine Spectator "Bold, aromatic and ripe, but very elegant, with racy acidity providing the ground wire for the rich black cherry, bramble, incense and sweet earth notes, followed by a long, multifaceted finish. Drink now through 2013" ~(WS)
| Producer |
| Located in the cool, southerly, maritime Walker Bay appellation,
in a beautiful valley behind the old fishing village of
Hermanus; Hamilton Russell Vineyards specializes in producing
internationally acclaimed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Low vigor, stony soils that combine with cool breezes
from the Atlantic Ocean help to produce naturally low yields
over a long
growing season.
The combination
of Hamilton
Russell’s climatic
and geological
influences
make it
possible to create
concentrated
Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay of
great individuality
and finesse.
Gentle handling
of the
grapes throughout
the
winemaking process
and traditional
vinification
techniques enable the Hamilton Russell team to aim for expression
of origin and individuality.
