Kivelstadt Cellars KC Labs Bazzano Vineyard Chardonnay is a precise, small-production Chardonnay that showcases the elegance and tension of the Russian River Valley. Crafted by Kivelstadt Cellars, this bottling reflects a thoughtful, experimental approach through the KC Labs program, highlighting vineyard character and balance.
The wine opens with aromas of lemon zest, pear, and white peach, layered with subtle notes of toasted almond, vanilla, and gentle baking spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, offering flavors of citrus and stone fruit supported by bright, natural acidity. Oak influence is integrated and restrained, adding richness without overshadowing freshness or purity.
The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, underscoring both the quality of the Bazzano Vineyard fruit and the cool-climate influence of the Russian River Valley. This Chardonnay pairs effortlessly with seafood, roasted chicken, creamy pastas, and soft cheeses. A refined, terroir-driven Chardonnay that balances energy, texture, and sophistication.
