Walter Hansel Winery Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

94+ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2015 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce features lovely lemon curd, pink grapefruit and underripe pineapple with touches of toasted almonds, fresh ginger and honey toast. Medium-bodied and super intense in the mouth, it has a racy line cutting through the electrically charged fruit, finishing very long and minerally. 1,100 cases produced.
93 Vinous -
The 2015 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce is the richest and also most distinctive wine in this range. Broad, ample and creamy, the 2015 exudes intensity in its voluptuous personality. Even so, the flavors are beautifully delineated throughout. -- Antonio Galloni in VINOUS, Mar 2017

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
We can't get enough of Walter Hansel here at First Bottle. How is this even possible?! Thirty-five dollars for a chardonnay that can rival some of the finest examples in the world? This is criminally under-priced...but let's keep that our little secret, shall we?


Killer for the holiday table (for your thirsty in-laws who "only drink chardonnay"), this is a layered, complex and oh so satisfying bottle of golden goodness. Lush and just SINGING with roasted nuts and exotic fruits with great intensity and creamy texture that is cut like a Ginsu with pulsing acidity and minerals for days. Just, WOW! Did we mention it's only $35? 

About the Producer

"My father, Walter, loved to grow everything from kiwi to oriental pears and more. In the 1970's he enlisted my help to plant 257 chardonnay vines. Throughout the 1980's 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. Since our first commercial vintage in 1996, I have learned with every harvest that you must listen to vine; react to Mother Nature and ALWAYS compromise quantity for quality." - Steven Hansel
