Cork Talk with Anthony Hamilton Russell
Listen now
Description
When Anthony Hamilton Russell gave up a job as a management consultant to return to the family wine farm in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, his London salary was more than the turnover of the business his pioneering father Tim had established in 1981. Our fascinating chat about the last 40 years of South Africa’s leading cool climate region covered everything from Nelson Mandela to leaf roll virus, Pinotage to sustainability in all its forms. To read more about Anthony have a look at the Hamilton Russell Vineyards' website. You can also follow the bodega on Instagram at @anthony_hamilton_russell. Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts. You can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
