Their Chardonnay shows why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tim Hamilton Russell founded the winery in 1975 as one of the first in the cool Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, about 20 kilometers from the coast. Atlantic winds and clay-rich soils create a climate more reminiscent of the Côte de Beaune than sunny South Africa. Today, Anthony Hamilton Russell runs the business – with a consistent focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from their own vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the Chardonnay displays ripe pear, white peach skin, and a hint of hazelnut from barrel aging. The acidity is precise and invigorating, the body full-bodied without heaviness. The finish is long, with a fine, creamy texture and a saline minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Drinking window: now until 2028.\u003cbr\u003e Pairs well with: lobster with butter, scallops with pea puree, aged Gruyère or a simple risotto with Parmesan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hamilton Russell Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"2024","offer_id":52695002186064,"sku":"V33726","price":48.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_hamilton_russell_vineyards_hamilton_russell_chardonnay.webp?v=1771238428","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/hamilton-russell-vineyards-hamilton-russell-chardonnay","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
