Walter Hansel Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a vibrant California white that stands out for its freshness, precision, and quietly distinctive style.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Sauvignon Blanc shows a bright, youthful clarity that hints at its crisp, lively character. The bouquet is immediately expressive, with notes of white pear, honeydew melon, grapefruit, wildflower honey, and a subtle touch of cinnamon. The palate is brisk and energetic, with flavors that circle around pear, citrus, lime, nectarine skin, melon, and a faint suggestion of fresh figs. It is the kind of wine that feels zesty and focused rather than overly herbaceous, making it especially appealing for those who prefer Sauvignon Blanc with texture and fruit depth. Best enjoyed young for its vivid aromatics, though it may hold gracefully for a short period in bottle.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes come from Lake County, where the large day-to-night temperature swings help preserve acidity while allowing full flavor development. Stephen Hansel supported the vineyard project from the beginning, and the fruit is grown according to his own standards, including low yields to encourage concentration and balance. While specific vinification details are not provided, the style suggests careful handling in the cellar to preserve freshness and aromatic purity.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled prawns, goat cheese, asparagus, fresh salads, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Serve well chilled at around 8-10°C, and decanting is not necessary.
