Walker Bay has a cool, maritime climate. However vineyard virus and small scale production have prevented thsi wine region from competing effectively against the Pinot Noirs from New Zealand.
There is a lovely purity to the red cherry aromas of the 2013 Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir. Fragrant and pretty, the bouquet is followed by a good concentration of red and black fruit on the palate. The tannins are subtle and well-managed and a floral note lifts the whole. This is an excellent and very pretty Pinot Noir. Drink 2014 - 2020. Catriona Felstead MW, Wine Buyer
