Anthony took us to the tasting room in their Cellar to taste the Hamilton Russell line of wines.

This was a very nice Pinotage. Not quite the same style as Kanonkop. It’s a little softer and not quite as dark in fruit. Still a very well made wine. Enjoyed it quite a lot.

Photos of, the Hamilton Russell Vineyard, Anthony’s pouring our tasting, barrels around our tasting, and a long view of their property and house on the hilltop.

This wine had a wonderful aroma, but it was very closed and took ages to open up. Ripe fruits, strong acidity

Black fruits, drying tannin, much bigger and more extracted than the preceding wines. Even though this is the oldest wine poured, it’s the least open today
