Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2022 showcases the Hamilton Russell estate`s commitment to precise winemaking in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. This vintage features an influential 5% malolactic fermentation, contributing to its nuanced character. The wine is aged in 23% new French oak, imparting subtle oak influences amidst a core of citrus and mineralité. Notes of lemon zest and light toast emerge, leading to a precise, stony finish. Hamilton Russell Vineyards, one of South Africa`s pioneering producers of cool-climate Chardonnay, has a long-standing reputation for quality and terroir expression.

The 2022 Chardonnay is matured nine months in 300-liter French oak barrels, 24% new. It has a backward nose demanding just a little coaxing from the glass, revealing tempting lemon thyme, hazelnut and subtly smoky aromas. The palate is taut and fresh with a lovely, slightly waxy texture. The oak is nicely integrated, quite linear and tensile in style, with ample weight toward the poised finish. This is a classy Chardonnay from Hamilton Russell. 13.3% alcohol
