WINERY Schramsberg, the pioneer of ultra-premium quality American sparkling wines, is proud to present its thirteenth vintage of our J. Schram Rosé. This sparkling wine is the result of a singular focus to produce a California sparkling rosé as fine as any made in the world.

WINE This wine is blended from the vintage’s best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wine lots from Schramsberg’s collection of 120 cool-climate vineyard sites within Carneros, Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast and Marin County. Following secondary fermentation in the bottle, this wine was aged on its yeast lees for over seven years in Schramsberg’s historic caves. It was then hand-riddled and finished with a select brut dosage. It is the companion to Schramsberg’s J. Schram Blancs and J. Schram Noirs, considered by many to be the ultimate expressions of artisan American sparkling wine.

The vineyards are in Napa at Wilkinson vineyards; Marin at Redding Ranch, and Stevens vineyards; Mendocino at Juster vineyards; and in Sonoma at Schwarze and Piedra Libre vineyards.

2015 delivered California vintners a stellar vintage. A mild winter led to an early bud break and was followed by a protracted bloom during an unseasonably cool spring. The resulting lighter crop ripened gradually through moderate summer heat, delivering exceptional quality and an early harvest.

Crafted from the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir lots of the vintage, this wine reflects Schramsberg’s commitment to excellence across its extensive collection of 120 cool climate vineyard sites. Sourced from the distinguished regions of Carneros, Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Marin County, it captures the essence of each terroir in a harmonious blend. After undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle, this wine was aged for over seven years on its yeast lees within Schramsberg’s historic caves, imparting depth and complexity. Each bottle was meticulously hand-riddled and finished with a carefully selected brut dosage, resulting in a sparkling wine of exceptional finesse and character.

This 2015 J. Schram Rosé opens with tantalizing aromas of peach, apricot, plum, and fresh fig, interlaced with marzipan, baking spices, ginger, honey, and vanilla chiffon. The palate presents a juicy entry of mango, cherry, and orange cream, with a bright center and finishes with hints of brioche and graham cracker. A balanced and lingering finish completes the tasting experience.
