Walter Hansel Winery Walter Hansel The Meadows Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 750ml

The 2021 Chardonnay The Meadows is a powerful, dense wine that shows a distinctly more savory side of Russian River Valle)' Chardonnay. Dried herbs and crushed flowers are woven throughout. Readers will find a Chardonnay built on savory, earthy intensity more than overt fruit. The Meadows is 100% Hanzell clone.<br/><br/>

The 2023 Chardonnay The Meadows Vineyard has a more focused and spiced feel in the glass, with aromas of green apples, candied lime, white pepper, and caramel. Medium to full-bodied, it boasts a refreshing and even spine of acidity, a balanced, linear feel, and a mouthwatering finish. It’s a highly appealing Chardonnay with the potential to improve over the next couple of years and drink its best over the coming 4-6 years.
