Note di degustazione
The 2013 Chardonnay Estate is another superb value from Hansel. Lemon peel, honey, almonds, wild flowers and mint are all laced into the super-expressive finish. In this vintage, the Estate is subtle, polished and exceptionally beautiful. Best of all, it is a fabulous value.

There are 1,260 cases of the 2013 Chardonnay Estate, a great bargain. At a retail price of $25 a bottle, it is hard to get more flavor and complexity in a Chardonnay than this cuvée possesses. Notes of poached pear, honeysuckle and white peach notes are offered in an elegant, medium-bodied, lively style. Like all of the Walter Hansel Chardonnays, it went through 100% malolactic fermentation, and was aged 10 months in 30-40% new French oak. Consume it over the next 5-6 years.
