Hamilton Russell Vineyards is a renowned South African winery celebrated for producing some of the country’s most refined and terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Nestled in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus, this estate was founded in 1975 by Tim Hamilton Russell, who recognized the valley’s unique potential for Burgundy-style wines. Today, Hamilton Russell Vineyards is led by the founder’s son, Anthony, who has continued to uphold the family’s legacy by crafting wines that capture the distinct, cool-climate character of this coastal region.

Hamilton Russell’s Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are known for their elegance, balance, and restrained complexity, reflecting both Old World influence and New World vibrancy. With a commitment to sustainable farming and minimal intervention in the cellar, each vintage highlights the purity of the Hemel-en-Aarde terroir—marked by clay-rich soils, cool ocean breezes, and a long, gentle ripening period. These wines exhibit nuanced layers of fruit, minerality, and structure, with exceptional aging potential.

Recognized globally for their quality, Hamilton Russell’s wines are a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the finesse of cool-climate wines.
