La vendemmia del Pinot Noir prodotto da Kistler Vineyardrs viene effettuata nel cuore della notte, al buio e, specialmente, con temperature fresche. Il risultato sono uve più fresche che conservano meglio la loro acidità. Può sembrare molto strano se non si sa molto di vino, ma un vero intenditore è al corrente che l'uva è in uno stato fisiologico diverso nella frescura delle tre del mattino rispetto a metà giornata.

Il Pinot Noir viene fatto fermentare spontaneamente in vasche aperte e il mosto fiore viene invecchiato in botti di rovere francese per un massimo di 18 mesi.

Nel calice sfoggia un bellissimo colore rosso rubino; i profumi che salgono al naso sono intensi, caratterizzati da sentori floreali e fruttati di frutti rossi, con cenni affumicati.
 Il gusto è ricco, di medio corpo e piuttosto secco, l’acidità che si percepisce risulta medio-alta, con tannini e intensità medi, i riscontri fruttati di prugna e ribes aprono ad un finale speziato di pepe nero.

Un vino che si abbina perfettamente a piatti saporiti come la polenta con i funghi porcini, cacciagione arrosto o salmone brasato alla marocchina.

The winery

Kistler Vineyards – Winery in Contea di Sonoma, California

Discover the story and wines of Kistler Vineyards.

A California winery focused on site-driven Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir, with a strong emphasis on viticulture and native yeast fermentations.
Region: Contea di Sonoma, California
Country: Stati Uniti
Founded: 1978
Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
Use of an heirloom clone of Chardonnay propagated across many vineyards. A network of site-specific vineyards that supply many single-vineyard labels. Low-intervention winery approach with fermentations using indigenous yeasts. Long-term collaboration with growers and vineyards, including those planted in partnership. Management transition began in 2008 with Jason Kesner and was consolidated after 2017.
Winery history
Founded in 1978 by Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler, Kistler grew as a family-owned winery dedicated to producing wines that reflect their place of origin. In 2008 Bill Price acquired a stake, and that same year Jason Kesner joined the team as a cellar assistant; Kesner later became head winemaker during the generational transition. Steve Kistler retired at the end of 2017. The estate also opened a tasting facility in the 2010s.
Production philosophy
Terroir-driven approach: use of selected plant material, viticulture guided by soil quality and site exposure, fermentations with indigenous yeasts and minimal cellar intervention to let the site express itself.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards span from Carneros to Sonoma Valley, and from the Russian River Valley to the Sonoma Coast; the winery states that it works with seventeen vineyards across five appellations and produces bottles sourced from multiple site-designated parcels.
