HAMILTON RUSSELL VINEYARDS

Chardonnay 2024

- 93 points -

Subtle, fragrant, a delicate Chardonnay with lots of finesse on show. Tree-fruit characters, allied with crisp lemon/lime acidity, pronounced mineral notes on the long finish. This will need more time to fully meld but all the structure is undoubtedly there – just needs a bit of time for the flesh to cover the bones. The dramatic Cape Storm of 23/24 September drastically reduced yields (9.15hl.ha), with disease pressure an issue through to harvest. 100% fermented in 300L French oak with nine months maturation in barrel.
