About Metz Road

With the various microclimates and soils of the valley, Scheid have access to a surprising amount of variety in terroir. Scheid Family Wines includes five distinctive labels: Scheid Vineyards, District 7, Metz Road, VDR and Stokes’ Ghost. Metz is their label focused solely on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

New York Metz

TASTING NOTES:
“Our 2017 Chardonnay bears the unmistakable aromatic and textural signature of the Riverview Vineyard. As with our 2016, this is a lavish wine that reflects the character and complexity of this windy, cool-climate property. The nose includes citrus, green apple, pear, vanilla, butterscotch and fresh-baked brioche. The palate is lush, round and concentrated. The wine’s natural opulence is deftly balanced by firm, well-integrated acids.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.54, TA 6.6 g/L)

BARRELS:
14 months in French oak, 92% new.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
You ever wonder why they’re called the New York Mets? Well, it’s a lot easier to say than The New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc. Which is also easier to say than TNYMBCI. Which would probably be pronounced something like “Tiny Umbacki” I guess. Ladies and gentlemen, The New York Tiny Umbackis.
