The 2018 Chardonnay Kistler Vineyard Cuvée Cathleen emerges from a tenderloin of vines on a west-facing hillside rich in broken shale. A Chardonnay of tension and crystalline purity Cuvée Cathleen presents a stunning expression of Moon Mountain. Apple, orchard fruit, white flowers and crushed rocks all grace this captivating Chardonnay from Kistler. The 2018 is just superb.

About the producer

Kistler
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
