Why You'll Love It
Fresh and finely structured, this coastal Pinot has cherry fruit, savoury spice and a gentle grip that keeps each mouthful interesting. The lighter alcohol of 2024 suits its measured, food-friendly style. Give it a little air and serve with duck, roast chicken or mushrooms on toast.
About The Producer
Tim Hamilton Russell established this estate near Hermanus in 1975, recognising the potential of its cool maritime setting. His son Anthony took over in 1991 and focused on estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards occupy stony, iron-rich clay and shale soils in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, close to the Atlantic. That combination of soil and climate gives the wines their measured ripeness, savoury detail and freshness.
Winemaking Information
Estate-grown Pinot Noir from the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, matured for ten months in 228-litre French oak barrels from François Frères. For 2024, 32% of the barrels were new, with the remainder previously used. The producer records residual sugar of 2.1g/l, giving a dry finish. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
