Product details
Hamel's white wine is crafted to capture and reflect the dynamic energy and mineral-rich qualities of the volcanic ash from Tres Palmas Vineyard and the basalt of Nuns Canyon Vineyard. This wine is characterized by its refined, crystalline structure, offering a fresh and saline expression that is both elegant and vibrant.
In the glass, the 2022 Estate Sauvignon Blanc presents a delicate straw color and begins with a hint of flinty minerality. As it opens, the wine reveals complex layers of blackcurrant bud, Meyer lemon pith, and white peaches, intertwined with aromas of apple blossom, sea salt, and crushed stone. The palate is met with a remarkable depth at the mid-palate and a persistent saline acidity that is both refreshing and tense. With its balance of purity and complexity, this wine is delightful to drink young but has the structure and minerality to age gracefully over the next decade.
