Hamilton Russel Pinot Noir, Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa, 2022

If you're interested in just how good South Africa is at growing Pinot Noir then you've got to stop here.  Hamilton Russell is THE iconic estate in SA for Chardonnay and Pinot producing wines in a very Burgundian manner - only better in many cases.  This Pinot combines a ripeness of fruit that you'd be hard pushed to get in Burgundy with elegance, finesse and balance.  It's completely class!
