Hamilton Russell Vineyards Chardonnay 2011
Hermanus, Walker Bay, Overberg, South AfricaHamilton Russell owns the South African chardonnay market. We love its cool restrained style clearly made by a producer who not only loves Burgundy but drinks it. This 2011 was a warmer year and this wine has some extra fruit but it remains austere and complex on the nose with pear and lime notes on the nose. The palate is firm tight and stony with a strong floral, mineral honey melon undercurrent mix with smoke and peat. Very stylish.Tasted: 29 August 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Trialto Wine Group |
