95 Points - Tim Atkin MW. Crafted in one of the world’s most southerly wine regions, this is Pinot Noir with restraint, savoury detail and real finesse. The cool maritime climate of the Hemel en Aarde Valley brings freshness and precision, while the clay rich soils add structure and depth. Never overblown or overly fruity, it’s a thoughtful, terroir driven style that sits closer to Burgundy than the New World stereotype. Vegan friendly.

Taste

Pure and finely detailed, with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and dried herbs alongside subtle spice and earthy notes. The palate is fresh and silky, balancing bright berry fruit with savoury complexity, fine tannins and a long, mineral finish.

Wine Press Ratings

95 Points - Tim Atkin MW (2024 Vintage)

“Continuing the move towards great elegance in the Hamilton Russell Pinot Noirs, despite the very low yields of the 2024 vintage, this is a scented, stylish cuvée. Perfumed, textured and comparatively approachable, it has pomegranate and black cherry flavours, savoury tannins and impressive palate length.”

94 Points - Decanter (2024 Vintage)

“The dramatic Cape Storm resulted in reduced yields following uneven flowering. Yet despite all the challenges this Hamilton Russell Vineyards Pinot Noir has lovely spicy notes, combined with fruit ripeness, richness and very fine tannins. Long, lingering aftertaste. High class.”

93 Points - James Suckling (2024 Vintage)

“This elegant, gently earthy red has aromas and flavours of liquorice, mushrooms, bark and red berries. It’s medium bodied, fresh and juicy, with very fine tannins and subtle spice notes.”

93+ Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate (2024 Vintage)

“The Hamilton Russell Vineyards 2024 Hemel en Aarde Valley Pinot Noir has a spicy, brambly aromatic profile with eucalyptus like high notes, alongside hints of cinnamon, clove and orange zest.”
