Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs North Coast (2023)
Wine Tasting Notes
Schramsberg's 2023 Blanc de Blancs bursts with bright apple, Asian pear, pineapple and lemon blossom over fresh bread and pie-crust notes. Crisp and juicy, the palate offers green apple, lemon zest and lemon curd with a delicate sugar-cookie richness. The tangy, clean finish makes it a perfect aperitif and a natural with oysters, crab or fried chicken.
Winery/Producer Highlights
Schramsberg Vineyards — Founded in 1965 by Jack and Jamie Davies on a historic Diamond Mountain estate in Calistoga, Schramsberg is a pioneer of American traditional-method sparkling wine. Its Blanc de Blancs was the first commercially produced in the U.S. from Chardonnay and was famously poured at President Nixon's 1972 'Toast to Peace' in Beijing. Cool-climate Chardonnay from across the North Coast undergoes its second fermentation in bottle and ages on the lees in the estate's hand-dug caves.
