Olive Oil
Nicholson Vineyards’ extra virgin olive oil is a wonderful cuvee, created from
the olives of our estate's five Tuscan varietals. Our four acre grove, planted
in 2005, is adjacent to the winery and vineyard. Planted in the traditional
Mediterranean style, the trees have room to spread and grow horizontally.
As with our estate grapes, the grove thrives in our coastal microclimate.
The fruit is hand-picked in late November and immediately milled off site,
using a cold press process. The handcrafted oil is natural, with no filtering or
fining. The results are amazing, with flavors that are pure and robust, and a
finish that is surprisingly smooth and peppery.
Olive oil tasting is available at the winery in December. Oil availability is
very limited and our annual production sells out quickly. Prices range from $18
to $28. If you are interested in our olive oil production or wish to receive more
information, please call the winery or add your name to our email list through the
website.
We support the standards of the COCC.
