Awards

Winning awards for the wines we produce at Nissley Vineyards is very gratifying. On this page is a complete listing of our winners in several competitions that were entered recently.

Please keep in mind that not all wines are submitted for judging, so please do not assume that a wine is inferior because it has not won an award. Also, awards do not always indicate a wine that you will like. You are the best judge of that.

The awards are vintage-specific. If the wine does not qualify for a vintage date, we refer to the copyright date, displayed at the bottom or side of the wine label in small print. This copyright date is the year that the grapes/fruits were grown.

A winning wine on this listing may now be sold out, and some recent winners may have not yet been released. If a wine has not yet been released, it can be obtained by special order.
