Walter Hansel Cuvee Alyce Chardonnay 2017  - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2017 Chardonnay Cuv?e Alyce opens with new oak aromas of toast, smoke, nutmeg and a gunflint hint with pie crust, spiced red apples, warm yellow peaches and loads of savory nuances?honey, hazelnuts, dried hay?at the core. Medium to full-bodied, it packs a wallop of flavor in the mouth, giving up oodles of warm fruits, spices and savory flavors, with great freshness to lift the very long, layered finish. This is fabulous! Give it another couple years in bottle. 892 cases produced.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Every year, the new Hansel wines come out and we again are stoked and amazed how much they OVERDELIVER. It’s just like clockwork. Sexy pinots, luscious, rich Chardonnays, wicked low prices. With that… 

Be quick! We WILL sell out! The 94-point Alyce Chardonnay is kicking this release -- soars with hazelnut and peaches, baked apples, killer freshness to back up all the loads of flavor. A wine that Wine Advocate says "packs a wallop of flavor in the mouth", and with a "very long, layered finish. This is fabulous!" High praise indeed for a wine that clocks in well under $40 a bottle. We have a nice parcel that just arrived, stock up while we have it!

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
