The colour is a pale, brilliant gold. The nose is complex, showing notes of lime peel, vanilla pod, and wet stone. The palate is focused, mineral, and highly textured. Flavours of citrus, white peach, and discreet butterscotch emerge. The precise, vibrant acidity provides a long, clean finish. Hamilton Russell Chardonnay is an ideal partner for lobster or rich poultry dishes.
