Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisetiers 2019 750ml
Les Noisetiers (pronounced Lay Nwaz-tee-yay) is a study of our Sonoma Coast sites. The name refers to the toasted hazelnut characters that we notice year in and year out from these sites. This cuvee is an appellation-focused Chardonnay. The explicit purpose of this wine is to illustrate a regional character of western Sonoma County highlighting mineral tones from vineyards with sandy Gold Ridge soils. The main sources are the Vine Hill Vineyard, Dutton Ranch and Trenton Roadhouse vineyards.

Kistler Chardonnays are all made from a proprietary California heritage clone. The Kistler selection, isolated originally from a grand Cru Burgundy vineyard, typically produces very small clusters weighing about 70-80 grams. The vines have a low-yielding condition known as “hens and chicks” The Kistler selection produces high-acid low pH wines with yields of 2.5 to 3 tons per acre equivalent to a Grand Cru Burgundy.

Kistler crafts Les Noisetiers Chardonnay exclusively for restaurants. Bright acid levels and underlying structure lend to its natural place in accompanying food.
