Kistler Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay originates from vineyards in the Russian River Valley, where the cool climate and sandy Goldridge soils contribute to mineral tension and structural precision. This single-vineyard Chardonnay is defined by concentration and clarity, offering aromas of ripe apple, pear, citrus, and white blossom, layered with subtle toasted oak nuances.

The texture is rich and multi-dimensional, yet balanced by vibrant acidity that provides energy and length. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, and the wine is aged in French oak barrels with minimal intervention and no aggressive filtration.

On the palate, ripe yellow fruit, saline minerality, and delicate spice unfold in a structured and harmonious progression. The framework supports aging potential, while still remaining accessible in its youth.

Vine Hill Vineyard Chardonnay is regarded as one of the benchmark expressions of Kistler’s style, emphasizing terroir transparency and textural precision.
