Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2022
A true Grand Cru of South Africa and last vintage Platter's Wine of the Year. It’s a fine, complex Chardonnay from a winery very close to the sea. Ocean-cooled grapes, fermented and aged in French oak, it combines mineral zip with spiced ripe fruit.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
