Schramsberg
Vineyards Brut Rosé North Coast
Schramsberg Brut Rosé is fruitful, complex and dry, making it both versatile with food and delicious by itself as an apéritif. The character of the wine is most strongly influenced by bright, flavorful Pinot Noir grown along the coast from southern Mendocino County to northern Marin County.
The character of Schramsberg wines reflects access to the best cool-climate sites in Napa, Sonoma, Marin and Mendocino.

- Aging
- Hand picking, careful handling, and gentle pressing produce a wine of delicacy, aromatic purity, and depth. Following the fall harvest and fermentation of the base wines, extensive tasting trials are carried out in the spring to create a polished blend reflective of the vintage. The finished blend undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle before aging on its yeast lees for about two years, just enough to achieve refined effervescence and toastiness without diminishing its refreshing, vibrant appeal.
- Alcohol
- 12.8%
Enticing aromas of raspberry, strawberry, and peach, intermingled with layers of lemon shortbread, brioche, and a hint of white florals. A bright entry of watermelon, cherry-limeade, candied orange, and sugar cookie leads to a long quenching finish.

“Generous yet steely at the core, with fragrant raspberry, rose petal and gingerbread accents that dance on the long, zesty finish."
