The aromas are fresh and extroverted with notes of yellow apple, pear and citrus, enhanced by hints of coconut, vanilla and toasty oak. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, soft and balanced with bright fruit, hints of butter and a lingering subtle oak finish. The combination of fruit, viscosity and structure ensures this Chardonnay can accompany a wide variety of foods from soft cheeses to roasted chicken or seafood.
Critic Review
Decanter Magazine: 87Pts (2021Vintage)
"Ripe and full with aromas of lime leaf, vanilla and cream. Vibrant acidity, well-integrated oak with beautiful complexity and length."

About the Producer
Scheid Family Wines, a family-owned and operated wine company founded in 1972, is ranked among the top 20 largest wine producers in California. Based in Monterey County, Scheid is uniquely integrated to bring high quality estate grown wines to the marketplace from its sustainably certified vineyards and grower partners throughout the Central Coast. Scheid’s innovative, luxury-level winery is powered by 100% renewable wind energy generated by a 400-foot-tall wind turbine, which also supplies energy to many homes in the local community.
Vineyard and Winery
Scheid's Chardonnay comes from their certified sustainable, estate vineyards in the cooler winegrowing regions of Monterey County where brisk wind and foggy conditions produce wines of great character, texture and structure. Planted on well-draining bluffs, benches and hillsides, the vineyards offer ideal conditions for Chardonnay and other cool-climate varieties.
The grapes were harvested in the early morning hours based on brix, acidity, pH and flavour. In the winery the fruit was sorted, crushed and cold fermented in small lots. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks (70%) and new French oak barrels (30%) to accentuate freshness, varietal character and terroir.
