Kistler - Chardonnay 'Les Noisetiers' 2023

All Kistler Chardonnays are produced from one proprietary, heritage California selection that brings low yields, tiny berries, great concentration of both flavor and texture, and naturally low pH with high acids.

The primary terroirs that drive Les Noisetiers are Vine Hill, Trenton Roadhouse, Du
