Description
Walter Hansel Chardonnay Meadows 2019
This is a new vineyard-designated offering from 100% Hanzell Selection grown in a low land Meadow contiguous to Santa Rosa Creek. It is dry-farmed each year and requires extensive shoot and crop thinning each year due to the extremely fertile conditions. The result is the most fruit-forward, with underlining tropical flavors, than any of their chardonnays.
Critical Acclaim
94 Vinous
The 2019 Chardonnay The Meadows is creamy and ample in the glass but shows the fresh, vibrant style that defines the vintage at Hansel. Lemon confit, spice, dried flowers and chamomile all take shape in the glass. Dry-farmed Chardonnay, all Hanzell clones, on the lowest-lying blocks of the property, yielded a Chardonnay with thick skins and notable intensity.
