Story
Hamilton Russell is renowned for its expertise in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Nestled in the stunning, cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, just behind the historic fishing village of Hermanus, the estate enjoys a unique maritime influence that enhances the character and quality of its wines. This idyllic location, with its breathtaking scenery and ideal growing conditions, makes Hamilton Russell a standout in the world of fine wine.
Tasting Notes
Pair this wooded mineral wine with the opera aria "Una furtiva lagrima" from L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti. The aria's subtle emotional depth and tenderness reflect the wine's elegant complexity, while the bright natural acidity and dry minerality mirror the crispness and precision in the vocal line. The harmonious balance of pear and lime fruit with a long finish complements the aria's romantic yearning and refined beauty.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with seared scallops, grilled white fish, or oysters. Its bright acidity and dry minerality also complement creamy risotto, citrus-infused salads, and fresh goat cheese, enhancing both the complexity and elegance of the meal.
Wine Makers Note
The wine undergoes barrel aging for 9 months, with 40% matured in 300-litre French oak barrels and 56% in 228-litre French oak barrels. The fermentation process is carried out entirely in barrels, adding depth and complexity to the wine.
