Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2022
A tight, minerally wine with classic Hamilton Russell Vineyards length and complexity. Unusually prominent pear and lime fruit aromas and flavours are brought beautifully into focus by a tight line of bright natural acid and a long, dry minerality. An elegant, yet textured and intense wine with a strong personality of both place and vintage.
"Ever the class act, Hamilton Russell's Chardonnay is in a rich vein of form right now. Using
only 5% malolactic because of the warmer year, this is fresh, layered and detailed, with
perfumed 23% new wood, notes of brioche and lemon butter and a stylish, stony finish.
Concentrated without being heavy in any way. 2023-29" 95 pts Tim Atkin MW
