Walter Hansel The Estate Vineyard Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Walter Hansel Winery, a family-owned winery located in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County, California. The Estate Vineyard is known for its unique soil composition and cool climate, which allows for slow ripening of the grapes and the development of complex flavors. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and whole-cluster pressing, followed by fermentation in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with notes of citrus, apple, and vanilla, and a creamy texture that lingers on the palate. It is a perfect representation of the classic California Chardonnay style.
