Brut Rosé North Coast NV

Mirabelle is Schramsberg's multi-vintage brut sparkling wine, a style the winery initiated in the 1990's. Mirabelle Rosé exhibits fresh, elegant and toasty aromas with bright berry fruit and body from the Pinot Noir, as well as length and zest from the Chardonnay.

Vintage Factsheets

The grapes for Mirabelle are grown in the cool-climate pockets of California’s North Coast, including the Napa, Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Anderson Valley, and Marin County. The fruit is hand-picked in the early morning hours at optimal maturity. Individual lot fermentations allow the winemakers to carefully select the components that make up the finished blend.

Region: California: North Coast

Appellation: North Coast

Varietal Composition: Chardonnay; Pinot Noir

Aging: The grapes are picked by hand and gently pressed to provide superior quality juice for the production of this balanced, refreshing rosé bubbly. In the spring following the fall harvest, base wines are individually evaluated and carefully blended by our winemakers. Pinot Noir lots, including a few fermented with skin contact, provide brightness of berry fruit and body, while Chardonnay lots lend length and zest to the palate. Additional flavor depth and aromatic complexity results from the blending of base wine lots aged in barrels and tanks for one or more years. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and rests for approximately two years before its release. Following the en tirage aging, an extensive dosage trial process produces the ideal finishing touch, and the sparkling wine is ready to be enjoyed.

Alcohol: 12.6%

“The Mirabelle Brut Rosé has vibrant aromas of stone fruit and strawberries, rounded off with hints of lemon curd, zesty citrus, ginger, vanilla, and toasted almond. A broad and juicy entry on the palate anchors a mid-center mouthfeel of orange, tangy raspberry, baked apple, and pineapple upside-down cake, ending with a bright acidic finish.”
