Kistler Vineyards Trenton Roadhouse Chardonnay 2022

Bottled since 2009. Straddling a south facing hilltop comprised of Gold ridge soils, like the Vine Hill and Dutton vineyards, but the finest grained sand of any of those sites. A soil influenced Chardonnay noted by vaulted green-orchard and yellow-citrus fruit aromatics, resounding minerality and complex earthy sulphides.

Kistler is a proudly Californian effort. Our goal for nearly fifty years has been to lessen our imprint on every vineyard we work with and the wines that result.

Old world reverence applied to new world sites.

All of our Chardonnays are fermented in our subterranean barrel chais, where the native yeast and various biological patinas rule the ecology. Hand stacked french cooperage that we purchase as wood and have air dry aged in St. Romain where it is crafted into barrels three years later, houses all of the wines.

Located at the southern end of the Russian River Valley near where the river heads west to the sea.
