Kistler Vine Hill Chardonnay 2001 is a white wine from the Russian River Valley, drawn from mature vines rooted in Goldridge sandy loam that imparts lift and precision. The cool, steady season favoured slow ripening and finely detailed fruit. Aromas of citrus oil, pear and almond are layered with flint and light smoke. The palate is taut yet textured, showing creamy mid-palate weight balanced by brisk acidity and a saline mineral core. Oak is seamlessly absorbed, adding quiet structure, and the finish is long, composed and subtly savoury, revealing the vineyard’s hallmark restraint and purity.
