The Chardonnay and Viognier grapes for this blend were fermented separately, with the intention of maximizing the characteristics of each in the final wine. The Chardonnay spent 4 months in oak prior to blending in order to give body without compromising the delicate characteristics of the Viognier. The result is delicious, with mango, pineapple and vanilla characters and a long finish

"If you like the well-rounded elegance of Chardonnay, and the tropical fruit aromas of Viognier, then look no further. The Vignes de Nicole combines the two brilliantly, with the Viognier adding a fresh, peachy zing to the Chardonnay’s ripe apple backbone. "
