Harvest and Terroir

The 2022 harvest at Hamilton Russell Vineyards was marked by a slightly later timing and higher temperatures, which contributed to a slow and extended ripening process. Despite the challenges, the vintage delivered beautiful, pure, and generously textured wines. The vineyard's low yields, with Chardonnay at 3,87t/ha, highlight the vineyard's dedication to quality over quantity. The terroir, characterized by stony, clay-rich, shale-derived soil, plays a crucial role in shaping the wine's unique profile.

Winemaking and Aging

The 2022 Chardonnay spent 9 months aging in barrel, with 23% new French oak and the remainder from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th use. This aging process imparts a rich complexity to the wine, enhancing its flavor profile and structure. The producer's meticulous attention to detail and dedication to their craft is evident in every sip. Experience the Hamilton Russell difference with this exceptional Chardonnay, a testament to the vineyard's commitment to excellence.
