Hanzell Chardonnay Sebella Sonoma Valley

”Aging Finished and aged for three to six months in one tofive year old French Oak barrels. The Vintage The dry and warm spring made for an early and bountiful growing season. Numerous and judicious thinning passes were required to maintain the proper yields and concentration we require. The summer heat paired with our typical cool nights made for thick skins resulting in well-structured wines. Winemaker’s Comments High-toned aromas of jasmine honeysuckle and citrus blossoms give way to scents of pear skin lemon zest kumquat and beeswax. The flavors of green apple nectarine Meyer lemon and wet stone minerality are long and true to the nose. Bright acidity gives balance to the richness on the palate and gives striking purity to the flavors. – Michael McNeil Winemaker
