The 2021 Chardonnay reflects a crisp acidity and minerally underpinning defined flavours of melon and tangerine fruit with accents of lime blossom. Reflective of the site, this cool climate medium-bodied wine is both silky and fresh with an elegant, long finish.

Tesselaarsdal

Tesselaarsdal was founded in 2015 by long-standing Hamilton Russell Vineyards employee Berene Sauls. This wine is named after the historic Overberg farming hamlet of Tesselaarsdal not far from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge wine appellation in which Berene was born – a descendant of the freed slaves who were bequeathed the land by former East India Company settler Johannes Tesselaar in 1810. Extreme care is taken to ensure this small-production classically styled Pinot noir expresses the personality of the cool maritime Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge from un-irrigated vines and its elevated stony clay and iron-rich soils.
