Kistler Russian River Valley Pinot Noir California 2021

The grapes are originally from a Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy and have been for the past twenty-five years. Like the Chardonnay clone, they produce a very low yield, resulting in wine with a natural density and concentration of flavor, balanced by elegant natural acids and heightened aromas.
The grapes are harvested in the dead of night, and above all in cool temperatures. Then the grapes are freshest and retain their acidity best.
Each Pinot Noir fermentation is manually monitored 24 hours a day. Fermentation is controlled as little as possible. The wines therefore ferment on wild yeast at moderately cool temperatures and with little or no processing of the grapes.
