Schramsberg Vineyards
Blanc de Blancs Brut North Coast
Blanc de Blancs was the first wine Schramsberg produced in 1965 and was America’s first commercially produced Chardonnay-based brut sparkling wine. Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs gained international recognition in 1972 when then President Nixon served the wine at the historic “Toast to Peace” in Beijing, China.
The character of Schramsberg wines reflects access to the best cool-climate sites in Napa, Sonoma, Marin and Mendocino.

The Blanc de Blancs has lifted aromas of green apple, apple tart, and apple custard, intermingled with tangerine and lemon-lime. Its vibrant flavors of fresh grapefruit, golden apple, and white peach bring drive to the midpalate, leading to a clean finish with notes of vanilla chiffon and a hint of ginger.

"A hint of reduction on the nose adds depth and minerality to aromas of sliced lemons, oyster shells, pie crust and grapefruit. The midweight palate shows precise acidity and a finely beaded mousse. Fresh, but best opened and allowed to breathe for a few minutes before tasting. Drink or hold."

"Graceful and delicately structured, with pretty lemon, honeysuckle and blanched almond flavors that glide on the long, vibrant finish. Drink now."
