Hamilton Russell Vineyards

Nestled just three kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, Hamilton Russell Vineyards sits in one of South Africa’s coolest wine-growing regions. The estate is celebrated for its focus on Burgundian classics—Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—crafted from stony, clay-rich shale soils that lend remarkable structure and finesse.

A singular vision

Under the stewardship of Anthony Hamilton Russell, the estate has earned a reputation for producing wines of restraint, complexity, and an unmistakable sense of place. Every bottle reflects a philosophy rooted in terroir, where elegance takes precedence over power. This commitment has positioned Hamilton Russell among South Africa’s most respected names for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Craft and continuity

Talented hands shape the estate’s winemaking legacy. After a decade of influence from Hannes Storm, Emul Ross took the helm in 2014, bringing experience from Cape Chamonix—another specialist in these noble varieties. Today, Ross continues to refine the style, ensuring Hamilton Russell wines remain benchmarks for quality and longevity. As The Wine Advocate notes, in great vintages, their Pinot Noir can rival the finest Burgundies for grace and ageing potential.
