Hermanus Wines Wow The World

Local winemakers continue to make Hermanus proud as they gain worldwide recognition and prove themselves a force to be reckoned with.

Hamilton Russel's Chardonnay 2009 was selected for the Sommelier Journal's Top Releases of 2010 - a list compiled by their editors and writers and other leading professionals from around the world. This Sommelier's choice is one of only five from around the world.

This year's vintage will be the 30th vintage of Hamilton Russel Vinyards Chardonnay.

The Bouchard Finlayson wine estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley has also recently received another feather in its cap.

Their Galpin Peak 2009 Pinot Noir was among the selection of exciting New World wines reviewed in the February issue of the exclusive Wine Spectacular magazine. The wine scored an outstanding 92 points out of 100.
