Hamilton Russell : Complex & Elegant South African Pinot Noir

Hamilton Russell Vineyards Pinot Noir hails from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa, a region known for its unique maritime climate and clay-rich soils that bring a distinct minerality and structure to this wine. Recognized as one of the premier Pinot Noirs in the New World, this wine showcases the dedication of Hamilton Russell to cool-climate viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking.

This medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir features a complex bouquet with notes of dark cherry, raspberry, and plum, intertwined with hints of earthy spices and smoky undertones. On the palate, the wine’s smooth, velvety texture and balanced acidity lead to a long, elegant finish, reflecting both the natural expression of the terroir and the winery’s restrained use of oak aging. With an ABV of 13.5%, it pairs beautifully with dishes like roasted duck, lamb, or mushroom risotto, enhancing both the wine’s and the food’s flavors.

Whether enjoyed at a sophisticated gathering in Dubai’s Emirates Hills or a cozy dinner at Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir is available with two-hour delivery through CityDrinks, the UAE’s leading online liquor store.
