    Hamilton Russell: Burgundy's African Rival

    Tim Hamilton Russell bought this land in 1975 when people thought he was mad to plant Pinot Noir in Africa. His son Anthony proved them wrong - the 2019 Pinot scored 97 from Tim Atkin, routinely rivalling Burgundy Premier Cru at a fraction of the price.
