Schug Winery
Carneros Chardonnay
This is good Chardonnay. Always is. If they would upgrade the packaging, it would help greatly for retail.

May 30th, 2019Enjoying a wonderful meal in Oslo at the Grand Hotel with Claudia Schug along with other female export managers and a lone male. Wonderful complex and full bodied with obvious freshness. Went amazing with the Swedish caviar (aka Bleak Roe).

Mar 22nd, 2017Bought to use in a blind tasting exercise--unfortunately for me, it's a pretty pure expression with a delicate character- lots of white flowers and balanced acidity, like biting into a crisp yellow apple. No malo & very little new oak. So not exactly the Cali chard prototype. But it's delicious!
