Nickel & Nickel is a winery based on the motif of "one grape variety, one vineyard" and was founded in 1997 by the five owners of Far Niente Winery, which is immovably popular in Napa Valley. The biggest feature of Nickel & Nickel's wines is that they are made from only one grape variety from a single vineyard. Currently, only Cabernet Sauvignon is imported to Japan, but other single-vineyard wines such as Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel are also released. The most important decision is which single vineyard to make wine from. No matter how great a single vineyard is, if there is even a part that does not meet their standards, they will not make wine from it. Everything is checked, including the soil, rootstock, clone type, field orientation, and cultivation method. After that, the Nickel & Nickel team carefully manages the fields to maximize the potential of each field. Only after this level of management is done can two fields, only a mile apart, produce grapes with excellent individuality. Single-vineyard, single-variety wines allow the individuality of each variety and soil to come through, resulting in a wine with depth.
