Hamilton Russell Hemel-en-Aarde Valley Chardonnay 2022 (South Africa) Rated 94WA

Product Description

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 94
Opening to a nose of bright lemon and peach yogurt with hints of banana, the 2022 Chardonnay is fresh and citrus-laden. Medium-bodied and with 13.2% alcohol, the palate is fresh, balanced and spicy with succulent apple essence before swinging to show an elegant floral notion that finishes fresh and complex. This Chardonnay was barrel fermented and aged in 23% new French oak. Give it a try! Drinking Window 2023-2035.

Wine Tasting Notes
Hamilton Russell Hemel-en-Aarde Valley Chardonnay is a tight, minerally wine with classic Hamilton Russell Vineyards length and complexity. Prominent pear and lime fruit aromas and flavors 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.
