Natalie's Score: 95/100

Hamilton Russell 2023 Chardonnay is the winery's flagship Chardonnay. A beautiful, rich, vegan-friendly and barrel-fermented Chardonnay, full-bodied with layers of honeysuckle, ripe pear, apple, ripe peach, lemon curd and briny mineral notes beautifully balanced with fresh acidity, enjoy it through 2030. Grapes for this vintage were sourced from vineyards approximately two kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean's Walker Bay, with the cooling influence of the cold Benguela current flowing up from Antarctica and the prevailing southeast winds.

Chardonnay food pairings: prawn bisque, chicken breast, frittata, cheese fondue, turkey.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
