Something I'm constantly asked for at K&L is unoaked Chardonnay. So many folks it seems are looking for a nice bottle of Chardonnay and all the deliciousness that grape provides, but without a big imprint of oaky-buttery richness. Sure there's a time and a place for a powerful, rich, barrel fermented Chardonnay, but the variety can also produce, crisp, bright, refreshing white wine without all that "makeup". That's exactly what we have here. Not only is this a juicy, bright, delicious easy drinking unoaked Chardonnay, but it also happens to be from one single, organically farmed vineyard in the heart of the ultra-premium Russian River Valley. Bazzano Vineyard, also known as Lorenzo Vineyard, was planted in 1974, these old, Wente Clone vines grow in sandy clay loam soils and produce concentrated and flavorful fruit. Kivelstadt is a small winery based in the Sonoma side of Carneros. (They have a phenomenal restaurant called Bloom if you're ever in the area and need a bite to eat.) Winemaker Luke Nio has great wineries such as Bedrock Wine Co, plus Green & Red on his resume, and is very talented. If you're looking for an inexpensive, everyday, easy-drinking bottle of Chardonnay that doesn't cut any corners with the quality of fruit or small-batch winemaking, you've come to the right place! With our massive Insider's Advantage discount this is a total no-brainer.
