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 Noirs is a captivating sparkling wine that showcases the winery's expertise in crafting complex and nuanced wines. Made primarily from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from cool-climate vineyards across Northern California, this medium-bodied brut sparkler offers a delightful array of flavors and aromas. The carefully selected grapes, combined with the addition of Chardonnay for zest and structure, result in a wine that expresses generous notes of yellow peach, apricot, and citrus, complemented by hints of elderflower and pastry. With its bright acidity and long, refreshing finish, this Blanc de Noirs pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from soft cheeses to seafood and pork tenderloin.
