Know More Adventure Checkpoint 3: Hamilton Russell Vineyards
Melissa Blades' top choice in the region. Hamilton Russell Vineyards is one of the most southerly wine Estates in Africa and one of the closest to the sea - is located in the beautiful, cool, maritime Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, just behind the old fishing village of Hermanus. The Estate specialises in producing highly individual, terroir driven Pinot noir and Chardonnay, which are widely regarded as the best in South Africa and among the best in the New World. Founder, Tim Hamilton Russell purchased the undeveloped 170 hectare property in 1975, after an exhaustive search for the most southerly site on which to make South Africa?s top cool climate wines from a selection of noble varieties. His son Anthony Hamilton Russell, who took over in 1991 (finally buying the property in 1994), narrowed the range to Pinot noir and Chardonnay only and registered Hamilton Russell Vineyards as an Estate, committing to work only with grapes from their terroir.

The Hermanus Wine Route
The Hermanus Wine Route lies on the R320, which wends its way through the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Although superb whale watching made Hermanus world famous, its wines are as deserving of praise. The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is protected from the cool sea breezes but benefits from plentiful rain and sunshine, making an ideal growing environment for the wine estates in the area, which include Bouchard Finlayson, Creation Wines and Ataraxia. We popped into two other estates – Southern Right and Russell Hamilton Vineyards – to chat to owner and winemaker Anthony Russell Hamilton about what makes this corner of the Garden Route so perfect for viticulture.

Interview with Anthony Hamilton Russell: Ep. 99
The virtues of South African wine have changed a lot in the past 10-15 years. What hasn't changed is the hard work and dedication that Anthony Hamilton Russell and his wife Olive have continuously poured into their sacred soils of the Hemel-en-aarde Valley. We grab a few minutes with owner, winemaker, and the original 'Caped Crusader' himself, Anthony Hamilton Russell.

Benguela Cove Estate Video
Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate is situated on the R43, 18km outside Hermanus and a mere 75 minute drive from Cape Town International Airport. This 200-hectare security and boating estate is also a working wine farm, renowned for producing outstanding quality from its cool climate vineyards in the Walker Bay. The estate is bordered by the natural Bot River lagoon, teeming with fish and birdlife. With the longest stretch of vines facing the Atlantic Ocean, the estate is nudged by the majestic Palmiet Mountains and natural fauna and flora on the other side, nestled amongst vineyards and olive groves where South Africa’s national bird, the blue crane, annually comes to nest.
