Hamilton Russell has pioneered viticulture and winemaking in the beautiful,
cool, maritime Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, just behind the old fishing
village of Hermanus. The wines stand out for their complex, layered elegance, purity and
mineral liveliness. This wine has been matured for 10 months and has gone
through Malolactic fermentation in 29% 1st fill, 28% 2nd fill, 36% 3rd fill, 7% 4th
fill, 288 litre French oak barrels.
Their low-vigour, stony, clay-rich soil, cool maritime mesoclimate, naturally tiny
yields of well under 35 hl/ha and their philosophy of expressing the terroir in the
wines – give rise to a certain tightness, tannin line and elevated length to balance
the richness and generosity of the Pinot noir. Hamilton Russell Pinot noir is not
overtly fruity, soft and “sweet” and it generally shows hints of an alluring savoury
“primal” character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume.
