Hamiliton Russel
Hamilton Russell Vineyards is a pioneer estate in the cool, maritime Hemel-en-Aarde (Hemel-en-Aarde Valley) near Hermanus, South Africa, and is widely regarded for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay rather than the country’s more typical Cabernet or Shiraz. The estate was established (the farm purchase timeline begins in the mid-1970s) and concentrated on cool-climate varieties; Hamilton Russell’s materials stress a terroir-first approach and Burgundian inspiration in both vineyard and cellar technique. The estate’s wines regularly receive high praise and are often cited as benchmarks for South African Pinot and Chardonnay in international coverage.
