The Story

Not just a Chardonnay, but a classic, origin expressive wine
Hamilton Russell Vineyards Chardonnay is different to most New World Chardonnays. Our stony, clay-rich, soil, cool maritime mesoclimate, naturally tiny yields of around 30 hl/ha and our philosophy of expressing our terroir in our wines give rise to a tighter, drier, more complex mineral character and length to complement the varietal fruit. Many wine enthusiasts prefer this more classical style to the round, viscous, vanilla and sweet fruit character of so many Chardonnays. For this reason, many knowledgeable enthusiasts around the world regard Hamilton Russell Vineyards as the best Chardonnay in South Africa and one of the best in the New World.

Written Notes

Bright golden yellow colour. Aromatic nose with aroma reminiscent of high class Dajginjo-Sake, ripe pomaceous fruit, lemon zest in the background. On the palate well structured with fine acidity, classic style with elegant creamy texture, excellent length and complexity, a great experience.
