Schug Carneros Estate Winery
Schug Carneros Estate Winery was founded in 1980, and is the life-long dream of California winemaker Walter Schug. Drawing on his experience in the production of fine wines in Germany and as founding Winemaker for Joseph Phelps in California, Walter along with his wife Gertrud, built the winery to focus on Pinot Noir. In 1995, Sonoma native Mike Cox joined the team as Winemaker with Walter Schug overseeing the business as Winemaster. This winery is dedicated to Walter’s passion for Pinot Noirs.
