Product Overview

The non-vintage Scharffenberger Brut Excellence is made by the méthode traditionelle process, whereby the wines are individually bottle-fermented before being riddled and disgorged. The full malolactic style adds a vanilla cream character producing a round and full-bodied wine. After approximately two years on the lees, there are notes of freshly baked bread and pastry that enhances the more fruit-forward style of the wine. Finally, after several months in the bottle, the wine develops caramel and hazel complexors.

Varietal Composition: 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir
Appellation: Mendocino County
Aging: Aged an average of two years on the yeast

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"A well-rounded, supple texture surrounds attractive toast and nut flavors in this suave and mouthfilling wine. Notes of biscuit, peach and toasted bread give it a nice sense of maturity and complexity." -JG, 12/1/20

87 Points - Wine Spectator
"User-friendly and plump, with lemon tart and creamy tropical fruit flavors that finish on a spicy accent. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now. 20,000 cases made." -TF, 12/31/23
