HANZELL ESTATE CHARDONNAY SONOMA 2013

Hanzell's Estate Chardonnay is the flagship Chardonnay bottling from this venerable, Burgundian varietal specialist in the Sonoma Valley. An innovative winery, Hanzell was the first to create temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenters and isolated a malolactic bacteria that is still used today, there and in wineries worldwide. Considered age-worthy and collectible, Hanzell Chardonnay has a record of 60 years of vintages to back it up--since 1957! This wine is a blend of estate-grown Chardonnay from the winery's Ambassador’s 1953 block, Zellerbach, Day, de Brye, and Ramos vineyards.
