HANZELL 08 CH SEBELLA
Sebella is the new companion label to the Hanzell Vineyards Estate wines. Lovingly named after the owner’s children (Sebastian and Isabella), Sebella has been created by following old world Grand Cru Domaine and First Growth Chateau classification philosophies. After finalizing the blend for the Hanzell Estate Chardonnay from eighteen separate barrel lots, each remaining barrel was tasted. The winemakers then blended these few select barrels to craft a Chardonnay to enjoy now, while their Estate Chardonnay, with its intensity and structure, ages gracefully in the cellar. Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Charming and complex with aromas of ripe apple, hazelnut and honeysuckle. As the wine opens, more of the classic characteristics of our vineyard – chamomile and citrus peel – shine through. The wine’s pedigree is evident with a creamy entry, fullness in the mouth yet with great acidity, and expansive flavors of lemon custard combining with a long, mineral-laden finish.
