SCHRAMSBERG BLANC DE NOIRS 2020

Pioneering California sparkling wine producer Schramsberg Vineyards creates their Brut Blanc de Noirs from North Coast vineyards where cool maritime influences provide ideal growing conditions for premium sparkling wine production. Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, this medium-bodied sparkling wine follows the traditional méthode champenoise with bottle fermentation and 2-3 years aging on lees in the historic caves hand-dug in the 1880s. The winery's sustainable practices include accessing over 120 cool-climate sites and fermenting 25% of juice in oak barrels—a rarity among California sparkling producers. The resulting wine delivers complex red fruit flavors with subtle brioche notes and a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity—a testament to the Davies family's commitment to excellence since 1965.
