Tasting Notes

Always a winner, Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2020 has a beautiful lemon curd and natas custard tart nose, honeydew melon, creme patissierre and crushed stones. Exotic fruit on the palate with some showiness there - nut butter, moringa flowers and sweet citrus, with a tangy, macerated yellow pepper fab acid structure. Superb!

FROM THE PRESS

“The most remarkable HR Chardonnay I have ever tasted. With stunning depth and juiciness, plush, but controlled oak and serious length, this is a phenomenal creation. There is exquisite balance here, too, and all of this class and luxury sits atop stiletto-sharp acidity and a restrained 13.2% alcohol level. Pound for pound, this wine is in contention for Chardonnay of the Year””
Matthew Jukes, matthewjukes.co.uk
“This wine shows the true pretty, overt appeal of the 2019 vintage without any of the usual youthful reduction and broody mineral austerity. The aromatics are bright, pure and lifted, ultra expressive, offering up seductive notes of Spring flowers, lemon cordial, green apple, yellow grapefruit confit and honeydew melon pastille sweets. The palate mirrors the aromatic succulence and generous fruit forward concentration boasting hallmark notes of sweet citrus fruit intensity, crystalline purity, tangy acids and a fleshy, glycerol harmonious persistence. A little more showy fruit immediacy will surely see this vintage race off the shelves with new and old Hamilton Russell collectors alike” 93+ Greg Sherwood MW”
