The Hamilton Russells are true pioneers at their Hemel-en-Aarde estate in South Africa. To celebrate 40 years of making top end Pinot Noir they opened some amazing library bottles including 2 of the only 5 they have left of their 1st vintage, 1981. Click https://t.co/1VGrBc4Cof

@rosemurraybrown @CamDouglasMS Yes very thanks. About to start my last vintage for Escarpment in a new winery which has only been in planning for 23 years! Weather has been challenging but got our fingers crossed and will start by the end of next week I'm guessing

@onlinewineclub @Greywacke @CraggyRange @JudyatNeudorf @PegasusBayWine @TringWinery @nzwineeurope Great effort hope they show well

@DrNShastriHurst Well done Neil Glad it hit the spot. Racing towards a great vintage here 4 weeks to go!

[Larry McKenna @LarryMcPinot]

@jjn65 Hi We are now exclusively stelvin screw cap. Diam composite corks are guaranteed cork taint free and much more consistent in performance than natural cork This was our first move away from natural cork until we had the machine to apply screw caps

[Larry McKenna @LarryMcPinot]

Exciting Christmas news Glad our Noir has hit the spot Thanks Matthew
