Description
Kistler Vineyards is a small family winery in the Russian River Valley. They have specialized in producing Burgundy type chardonnay and pinot noir wines. The winery was founded in 1978 by the Kistler family. They own some of the very best vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, including Dutton Ranch (Russian River Valley) in Western Sonoma County.
Named after roasted hazelnuts, this is the most striking Chardonnay from Kistler Vineyards. Kistler's chardonnay wine is produced according to the French example. The wines are fermented entirely in barriques, using both native and cultivated yeast varieties. After malolactic fermentation, the wines remain on their lees (fine sediment) and are aged in French oak barriques (50% new). After 12-18 months of aging, the wines are bottled without filtration or fining. The Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisetiers is named after roasted hazelnuts, this is the most striking Chardonnay from Kistler Vineyards. The right balance between citrus fruit and freshness. A lively yet elegant finale. The wine has a beautiful, full color with an intense nose, with fresh fruit (pear), hazelnut, vanilla, butter, honey and other creamy aromas of fermentation and aging in wood. Full of structure in the mouth, silky soft on the tongue, oily but also fresh and juicy, with well-integrated wood in the long finish. Definitely do not serve these types of beautiful wines too cool. We recommend 12°C.
This powerful wine with ripe aromas calls for similar dishes: sole fried in butter with almonds, Bresse chicken with truffle and foie gras, rosé fried veal kidneys with 'moutarde à l'ancienne' cream sauce, turbot or brill with a creamy butter/white wine sauce, monkfish ham with beurre blanc, lobster with vanilla butter
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate “ ...Steve Kistler and his partner, Mark Bixler, are at the top of their game, making world-class Chardonnays of remarkable consistency .”
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will often receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Collect' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

Kistler Vineyards is a small family winery in the Russian River Valley. They have specialized in producing Burgundy type Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The winery was founded in 1978 by the Kistler family. They own some of the very best vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, including Dutton Ranch (Russian River Valley) in Western Sonoma County. The winery was founded in 1978 by Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler. Kistler Vineyards has built a reputation for its dedication to making wines that express the unique terroir of the various vineyards from which they come.
Kistler's production
Kistler is best known for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noirs, which consistently receive high scores and critical acclaim. The winery produces a range of single-vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, often named after the vineyard the grapes come from. Some of the well-known vineyards Kistler works with include Dutton Ranch, Hudson Vineyard and Cuvee Cathleen. Kistler follows a winemaking philosophy with minimal intervention, with the aim of bringing out the natural qualities of the grapes and the vineyard in the wines. They use traditional winemaking techniques and often ferment their wines with native yeasts. Kistler wines are produced in relatively small quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts. The limited production contributes to their exclusivity. In recent years, the winery has transitioned to using biodynamic farming methods in some of its vineyards. This holistic approach to farming aims to improve the health and vitality of the vineyards and grapes.
