2022 Kistler Stone Flat Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

Stone Flat Vineyard, Sea Loam with Pebble Soils. Situated directly across from the Durell block, on the same sea loam with pebble soils, but planted on a different rootstock. The Stone Flat offers a leaner cut appearance on the same site. The two wines side by side make for a thought provoking comparison. Produces a wine that strikes an impeccable balance between its minerality, green orchard fruit-like core and silky, lingering finish.

Some of the notable vineyards that Kistler works with include Dutton Ranch, Hudson Vineyard, and Cuvee Cathleen.
