| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nThis is a new vineyard in a low land Meadow contiguous to the Santa Rosa Creek. It is dry farmed each year and requires extensive shoot and crop thinning each year due to the extreme fertile conditions. The result is the most fruit forward, with underlining tropical flavors, then any of their chardonnays.\r\nThe 2018 Chardonnay The Meadows Vineyard takes its time to unfold to warm white peaches, honeycomb and roasted almonds with very pretty herbal notes in the background. The light-bodied palate is silky and delicate, with bright freshness and detailed flavors on the long finish.\r\nRobert Parker 92 Points\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Walter Hansel Winery\r\nMy father, Walter, loved to grow everything\u00a0from kiwi to oriental pears and more. In the 1970\u2019s he enlisted my help to plant 257 chardonnay vines. Throughout the 1980\u2019s our entire family would harvest the half acre of grapes and my father and I would make the wine; filling two barrels, which equaled 50 cases of wine.\r\nInitially\u00a0these wines were hard to drink, but with the help of my friend, Tom Rochioli, I developed a passion to understand everything about the vineyards and the process of making wine. This passion influenced my quest for growing World-class wines.\r\nSince our first commercial vintage in 1996, I have learned with\u00a0every harvest that you must listen to vine; react to Mother Nature and Always compromise quantity for quality. |
