Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay 2023
White Wine | 13.5% ABV | 750 mL | Carneros, Napa Valley, California, USA | 100% Chardonnay | Single-Vineyard
Process & Profile
Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 is sourced entirely the Truchard Vineyard in the cool Carneros region of Napa Valley. The site’s volcanic and clay-loam soils, combined with foggy mornings and afternoon breezes, allow Chardonnay to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity. Grapes are harvested and fermented in small lots, with a combination of French oak and neutral barrels to build texture without overwhelming the fruit. The wine is then aged in French oak for nearly a year, balancing richness, freshness, and a clear sense of vineyard character.
Tasting Notes
Nose:Tropical pineapple and mango, tangerine zest, honeysuckle, and hints of citrus blossom.
Palate:Ripe pear, white peach, and citrus layered with subtle brioche, vanilla, and a creamy mid-palate lifted by lively acidity.
Finish:Long and focused with lingering citrus peel, stone fruit, and a chalky, mineral-tinged freshness.

How to Enjoy
Serve Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 at 50–54°F in a white wine or tulip-shaped glass to showcase its aromatics and acidity. A short 20–30 minute chill followed a few minutes in the glass helps the tropical and citrus notes unfold alongside the brioche nuance. This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken, creamy pasta with mushrooms, or soft-rind cheeses. It drinks well now but can develop added complexity over the next 5–8 years with proper cellaring.
