About

Established in 1978, Kistler Vineyards stands as a pioneer in Californian winemaking, founded on the belief that exceptional wines of site could thrive in California. Kistler specializes in crafting single clone, single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, working exclusively with one chardonnay clone and two pinot noir clones. This unique approach emphasizes low yields, small berries, and a remarkable ability to retain natural acidity. Paired with a minimalist winemaking approach, these wines are a testament to the belief that good wines of exceptional balance are made in the vineyard.
