Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2012 is a Chardonnay from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa. Hamilton Russell Vineyards is a celebrated producer, revered for its terroir-driven wines from the cool, maritime climate of the Walker Bay region. This bottling is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on the producer`s estate, in vineyards planted on clay-rich, stony soils. It presents notes of ripe peach, lemon zest and toasted nuts, with a distinctive saline minerality. The palate is rich and full-bodied, yet beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity.

Good full yellow. Wonderfully complex aromas of pear, wild herbs, sweet butter, smoke and tropical fruits; showed an iodiney minerality with air. Concentrated and harmonious but firm-edged, with brisk lemony acidity framing the very youthful flavors of stone fruits and minerals. Conveys a powerful impression of intensity without weight, like the best white Burgundies. Very young but smooth on the long, peach aftertaste. Outstanding potential here for a chardonnay that is often South Africa's best.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2013
