Kistler Vineyards is a family owned estate, founded in 1978. They produce both of the main Burgundy varietals, but are most known for their various heritage Chardonnay bottlings from throughout Sonoma county. The wines are produced using native yeasts, French oak, and are unfined and unfiltered.

Kistler has a passionate focus on a unique heritage Californian clonal selection, today planted across fifteen vineyards in Carneros, Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, and the Sonoma Coast. Their wines, across the range and for many years now, have been exactly what we want to drink when we want elegant, complex, definitive California Chardonnay.

Longtime winemaker Jason Kesner harvests fruit in the dark, taking advantage of Sonoma's chilly, crisp nights when these perfect clusters are in their most pristine state. Chardonnays are fermented in subterranean barrel cellar with native yeast. The throughline is magnificent texture and formidable, lingering intensity.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"Kistler’s 2023 Chardonnay Les Noisetiers is rich and creamy in the glass, not to mention quite sophisticated. In this vintage, some of the nutty character (after which the wine is named) is more subtle than in past years. Lemon confit, white flowers and tangerine oil all grace the palate, building into an understated yet beautifully resonant finish. The 2023 is driven by strong citrus and floral inflections rather than the almond/hazelnut profile often found in this bottling." -Antonio Galloni
