R1,098.00

Region: Hemel-En-Aarde

Tasting note:

“Anthony Hamilton Russell believes that top Pinotage deserves the same respect as the best Cape Pinotages and he’s proved it with this latest release of Ashbourne. Wild fermented with 10% added stems, this unfurls alluring hibiscus and rose petal aromas, fine-grained tannins, stylish 40% new oak and goji berry and wild strawberry flavours.” – 95 Tim Atkin South Africa 2023 Report

“This is an aromatic pinotage, showing dried roses, grilled herbs, oyster shells, roasted mushrooms and spiced cherries on the nose, with some Asian five spice. Medium-bodied, very finely textured with chalky tannins that grip lightly on a smoky, spicy finish.” – James Suckling

Located in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, on a beautiful property 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.

From the maiden release in 2001, this benchmark wine has redefined South Africa’s own red grape variety, Pinotage, with its classic, refined styling and unique complex character. This is a wine unlike anything else, intense, rich and savoury with a beautiful underlying minerality.
