Hamilton Russell's South African wines

The history goes back a surprisingly long way. Tim Hamilton Russell purchased a 170-hectare piece of vacant land in 1975 during his search for a place to produce cool-climate wines. It wasn't until 1991 that he began producing wine commercially on this land. In 1994, his son, Anthony Hamilton Russell, took over the winery. Anthony registered the land as an estate and commissioned extensive terroir research. Ultimately, 52 hectares remained, where the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are currently grown.
