WELCOME TO NIELSON WINES
Born on sandy soils, Pacific ocean breezes, and Santa Barbara sunshine.
Monterey County - Santa Barbara Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is from Santa Barbara, where we first started, and from Monterey County, to craft wines that embody the lifesytle and flavor of California's Central Coast. The result is a delicious interplay between apple, pear, and citrus blossom. Enjoy!
Monterey County - Santa Barbara Pinot Noir
At Nielson, we pay homage to the pioneering spirit by sourcing our fruit for our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara, where we first started, and from Monterey County, to craft wines that embody the lifestyle and flavor of California's Central Coast. Cool California vibes with notes of pomegranate, plum, and Bing cherry.
A Santa Barbara Winemaking Pioneer
Nielson Wines pays homage to its namesake, Uriel J. Nielson, who in 1964 planted the first commercial vineyard in Santa Barbara County, a region previously considered too cold to grow grapes. Known as a viticulture pioneer, Uriel didn’t heed warnings from neighboring farmers and didn’t flinch in his stance that Santa Barbara County could be one among the top winegrowing regions in the world.
Today, five decades later, there are now more than 300 wineries and thousands of acres devoted to vineyards, producing wines recognized by critics worldwide for their amazing quality, uniqueness and compelling balance of flavor.
