SCHRAMSBERG BLANC DE BLANC 2020

Schramsberg Vineyards, a family-owned sparkling wine estate in Napa Valley, was established in 1965 by Jack and Jamie Davies on a property originally founded in 1862. As pioneers in California s sparkling wine industry, they focused on producing high-quality, handcrafted wines using the méthode champenoise style. Today, under the leadership of their son Hugh Davies, Schramsberg continues to create a diverse range of premium sparkling wines, sourcing grapes from cool-climate vineyards across Northern California. The winery s commitment to quality is evident in its limited production, use of barrel fermentation, and innovative reserve wine aging program. Schramsberg s historic caves, dating from the 1800s, provide the ideal environment for aging up to 2.7 million bottles for two to seven years. Schramsberg s Blanc de Blancs is a stunning example of a Chardonnay-based sparkling wine that has captured the hearts of wine enthusiasts since its introduction in 1965. This dry and crisp wine is crafted using a combination of stainless-steel and barrel-fermented wines, resulting in a complex and nuanced base wine. After a secondary fermentation in the bottle and an extended aging period on its yeast lees, the Blanc de Blancs emerges with a vibrant and fruitful character. On the nose, it offers aromas of Granny Smith apple, tangerine, and lemon-lime, while the palate is anchored by flavors of fresh grapefruit, white peach, and golden apple. With its crisp and refreshing finish, this sparkling wine is a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes, from fresh oysters and ceviche to lemon chicken and Thai curries.
