It emerges from vines planted in 1976 and was done entirely in steel, with no malolactic fermentation and very short élevage of just six months in tank. Aromatic, bright and punchy, with terrific depth, the De Brye hits all the right notes. Clean veins of mineral intensity cut through a core of citrus peel, chalk, mint and jasmine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDespite a brilliant track record that goes back to the 1950s, Hanzell remains very much under the radar. That’s a shame, because these are some of the most profound wines being made anywhere in California today. Jason Jardine oversees farming and winemaking with a holistic approach that starts with natural inputs in the vineyard, as I was able to see firsthand during my most recent visit. Hanzell exists like a tiny ecosystem, a small bucolic ranch where vines share space with a wide range of crops and animals. Views of Sonoma Valley below and San Francisco off in the distance are reminders of the outside world, but it is very easy to visit Hanzell and forget all of that. Winemaking is stripped down to the basics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanzell’s 2023s are magnificent. The long, cool growing season presented ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, both of which offer a compelling mix of lifted aromatics, intense flavors and plenty of supporting structure. Quite simply, these are among the purest, most site-driven wines readers will find in all of California. In addition to their core range, Hanzell also releases small bottlings of experimental and\/or single-block estate wines under their Hanzell Farm sister label.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hanzell Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53855211094282,"sku":"CEW675","price":300.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/2024_Farm_DeBrye_Chardonnay__Front.jpg?v=1791121588","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/hanzell-vineyards-zellerbach-chardonnay-2024-copy","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
