Kistler Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Kistler Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay 2016 is a refined, single-vineyard California Chardonnay that showcases the precision and balance Kistler is known for. Hand-harvested fruit and careful French oak aging give the wine both depth and elegance, with a style that reflects one of the region’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a polished, luminous character, with aromatics of citrus, white flowers, toasted nuts, and a subtle touch of spice from the oak. The palate is layered and expressive, combining ripe stone fruit with bright acidity and a mineral-driven finish that keeps the wine feeling focused and long. This is a Chardonnay with real aging potential, built to evolve gracefully in bottle. Over time, its fruit will soften and the savory, nutty, and mineral notes are likely to become even more pronounced.

Production
The grapes come from a single vineyard site in California, where the terroir brings together ripe fruit character with a distinct sense of freshness and minerality. The fruit is hand-picked to ensure ideal ripeness and quality, then fermented and matured in French oak barrels, which add structure, texture, and complexity without overwhelming the wine’s natural elegance.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, lobster, grilled scallops, buttery fish dishes, and creamy pasta. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if you want to let the aromas open up, especially in its youth.

Producer
Kistler is one of California’s benchmark Chardonnay producers, widely admired for its site-specific wines and uncompromising approach to quality. The estate has earned a strong reputation in the region for producing wines of finesse, depth, and balance, with a style that has helped define premium California Chardonnay for decades.
