Sourced from their estate vineyards set on stone and clay, the 2018 Hamilton Russell Chardonnay opens with aromas of Pink Lady apple with shades of marzipan and wild mushroom that mingle nicely on the nose. The palate is viscous and rich, showing a wonderful combination of richness and tension with a silky texture, the wine unveils copious orchard fruit, baking spice and earthy flavors that collide with the bright sense of salinity and minerality. While fantastic now, this should also contine to drink beautifully over the next handful of years.
