It's time to gather for a tasting of wines presented by SAWS’ good friend, Anthony Hamilton Russell. Anthony will be leading the discussion comparing the wines of three of  his labels.

Hamilton Russell Vineyards: One of the most southerly wine estates in South Africa. A pinot noir and chardonnay specialist, they pioneered viticulture in the beautiful, cool, maritime, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation behind the old fishing village of Hermanus. 

Ashbourne: The property is named after Anthony’s great, great grandfather Lord Ashbourne who was Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the late 1800’s. Located on the eastern border of Hamilton Russell Vineyards, this small pinotage and sauvignon blanc based blend specialist has developed a reputation for innovative, highly individual, classically styled and age-worthy blends. 

Southern Right: A small pinotage and sauvignon blanc specialist located on a striking 448 hectare property near Hamilton Russell Vineyards. The wines are named after the rare Southern Right whales, which frequent the cool South Atlantic Walker Bay, 3 kilometres from the vineyards. 

Join the South African Wine Society for what promises to be an enjoyable evening.
