A close-up view of the trunnels (wooden pegs) which secure the structure of the circa 1770 Gleason Barn that houses production offices at Nickel & Nickel. Hand-pegged, mortise and tenon joint construction was the preferred building method in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Pictured is the interior of the Gleason Barn, a circa 1770 barn that was moved from New Hampshire and rebuilt at the site of the Nickel & Nickel winery. Built from hand-hewn white pine beams of mortise and tenon construction, the Gleason Barn will house winery offices.

Beautifully aged timbers weathered over time to a warm, barn-red patina grace the exterior of the Gleason Barn, a circa 1770 barn that was moved from New Hampshire and rebuilt at Nickel & Nickel to house winemaking staff offices.

Pictured is the fermentation barn at Nickel & Nickel, which was built in the style and method of a traditional 1880s post and beam barn.

A 30,000 square-foot subterranean barrel cellar, capable of holding up to 3,200 French oak barrels, stretches beneath the fermentation barn and part of the barnyard. This hidden architectural jewel sports vaulted ceilings and groin arches for aesthetic appeal, while radiant cooling in the floor and ceiling maintains perfect cellar temperature.

The fermentation barn was built with reclaimed, century-old fir beams and features traditional Dutch, English and American barn-building methods. The wood-frame barn has been assembled using age-old techniques of hand-joinery for post and beam construction that were common in the 1880s. Yet the barn houses a modern winery equipped to custom make the wine from each individual vineyard. Twenty-six stainless steel tanks, in three different sizes, are capable of heating and/or cooling simultaneously, depending on the vineyard's fermentation needs. The winemaker can check and adjust fermentation temperatures from a remote computer, allowing for instant changes, depending on the requirements of the fermenting juice. The technology allows the winemaker to handcraft the wine in each tank.
