Schramsberg
Vineyards Blanc de Blancs Brut North Coast
The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp featuring apple, pear and citrus character. Blends utilize barrel-fermented lots and older, reserve lots to add complexity and richness, while also aging on the yeast lees in the bottle for almost two years prior to disgorgement.
The character of Schramsberg wines reflects access to the best cool-climate sites in Napa, Sonoma, Marin and Mendocino.

- Aging
- The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp. Small lots of barrel fermented wines to create added complexity in the blended base wine. After undergoing a second fermentation in bottle, the wine then ages on its yeast lees for about two years prior to disgorgement. With its vibrant, fruitful and focused nature, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure and refined finish for many years, even decades following its initial release.

Lifted aromas of fresh Granny Smith apple, lemon-lime and fresh baked bread, intermingled with hints of baked pineapple and toasted almonds. Its vibrant flavors of Meyer lemon and tart apple bring drive to the mid-palate, leading to a clean, palate-cleansing finish.

"This wine is bright, with aromas of Golden Delicious apple, orange blossom, acacia honey and mineral on the nose. Flavors are of baked Bosc pear, mandarin orange, fresh walnut, toasted brioche and kaffir lime. The wine offers a subtle, creamy mousse, with a long, lifted and dry finish."
