Schug Carneros Estate Chardonnay

Schug Carneros Estate Chardonnay

Schug Carneros Estate Chardonnay, a Californian white wine, has intense fruit aromas of ripe pear and orange liqueur, complemented by a layer of toasted oak. Bright apple and citrus aromas give way to a full texture and a long finish. Schug does not make 'blockbusters' Chardonnay wines, the emphasis is entirely on finesse and fruit.

The vinification follows the classic European example, with fermentation in French oak barriques, followed by an aging of 9 months on the 'lees' (own fine sediment) in the same barriques.

Wine - Food pairing

This Chardonnay wine is an excellent accompaniment to rich pasta dishes, poultry, veal and shellfish. Also recommended with not too ripe white mold and cream cheeses.
