Product Description
Hamilton Russell Vineyards pioneered Hemel-en-Aarde as a world-class address for Pinot Noir. The 2025 vintage earns 93 points from Wine Advocate, a testament to winemaker Emul Ross's philosophy of minimal intervention — sourced from low-vigour, clay-rich stony soils and aged 10 months in French oak — producing a Pinot Noir of Burgundian restraint, savoury precision, and remarkable terroir expression.
Consistently praised for its silky texture and elegant complexity, this Hamilton Russell South Africa Pinot Noir opens with red cherry, wild strawberry, pomegranate, and damp earth, framed by white pepper, cedar, and subtle baking spice. The palate is focused and mineral-driven with vibrant acidity and a long, lingering, savoury finish.
