WINE DESCRIPTION
Nickel & Nickel Medina Vineyard Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by the renowned Nickel & Nickel winery. The grapes are sourced from the Medina Vineyard, located in the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley, known for its ideal growing conditions for Chardonnay. The vineyard features well-drained soils and a cool climate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves barrel fermentation and aging in French oak, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of ripe pear, honey, and vanilla. This Chardonnay is a perfect example of the classic Napa Valley style, with a balance of fruit and oak flavors and a long, smooth finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Nickel & Nickel Medina Vineyard Chardonnay is a delightful white wine with a bouquet of light citrus and tropical fruit aromas.On the palate, it is full-bodied and creamy, with a lively acidity that is balanced by a round and rich texture. Flavors of pineapple, lemon zest, and green apple linger in the long and satisfying finish.
