Since 1993 Nichol has been creating wines exclusively from grapes grown in Naramata. Our vineyards, on a pocket of land tucked against steep heat-radiating rock cliffs, are the ideal place to craft wines demonstrating intense fruit and refreshing acidity. Our soils - glacial till, granite shards, bedrock and silt - create a site that is extreme and unique. Listed below are the notes for our current releases. If you would like to discuss any of our wines, please feel free to send us an email at sales@nicholvineyard.com or find us on Twitter or Facebook to share your thoughts. |

2012 Nine Mile WhiteNine Mile White is a dry, refreshing blend of our Gewürztraminer (65%) which comes from an acre planted behind the winery 1400 feet above sea level and Riesling 35% from slightly south on the Bench. The two sites give us cooler nights than the rest of our vineyards and a slightly later harvest date resulting in bright, aromatic fruit with plenty of refreshing acidity. |

2011 Nine Mile Red2011 is the fourth vintage of Nine Mile Red we have made though we have been growing the grapes that make up this wine for over 20 years. It is a very small production blend of our St. Laurent with a barrel selection of our Pinot Noir. Hand-picked, basket pressed and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

2010 Cabernet FrancOur Cabernet Franc is sourced from 13 rows of vines at the front of our property and from an acre planted 700 meters below the winery. We pick and farm our Cab Franc with an eye to optimal maturity, through very low yields, combined with a focus on acid retention. We want this wine to taste and smell like Cabernet Franc should; savory, minerally and full of berry fruit character all enhanced by focused acidity. |

2010 Pinot NoirOur 2010 Pinot Noir is in very limited production and comes from 6 rows from right beside the winery, and from a site 700 meters up and behind the winery. Medium red cherry in colour with aromas of salmon berry, thyme, leather and ripe plum. Medium bodied with savoury tannins and a long, bright finish. |
