Old Vine

2010 Napa Valley Muscadelle

The Nichelini Family Winery Old Vine Muscadelle from the 2010 vintage showcases the enchanting characteristics of this lesser-known varietal from the renowned Napa Valley region. Displaying a gorgeous golden hue, this wine greets you with a bouquet of fragrant flowers, stone fruits, and honey, inviting a delightful exploration of its flavor profile. On the palate, it strikes a lovely balance with a medium-bodied structure, complemented by elevated acidity that brings brightness and liveliness to the experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe apricot and subtle citrus, while the finish is elegant and refreshing. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, particularly seafood and salads. The Nichelini Family Winery has splendidly crafted this Muscadelle into a memorable expression of Napa Valley's unique terroir, truly capturing the essence of its heritage in every sip.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
