Anthony Hamilton Russell, owner of Hamilton Russell Vineyards in Walker Bay, believes South Africa needs to “sort out its terroir message†in order for it to be taken seriously as a fine wine producing country.
Speaking to the drinks business at Cape Wine last month, Hamilton Russell said:
“Sorting out our terroir message will help us promote our fine wine offering. The importance of terroir very much exists in South Africa, it just hasn’t been communicated properly yet.
