Product Description
#19 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022
Blanc de Blancs (white from white), made from Chardonnay, is the counterpart to the Blanc de Noirs (white from black), made from Pinot Noir. Blanc de Blancs was the first wine Schramsberg produced in 1965 and was America’s first commercially produced Chardonnay-based brut sparkling wine. Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs gained international recognition in 1972 when then President Nixon served the wine at the historic “Toast to Peace” in Beijing, China.
The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp. Small lots of malolactic- and barrel-fermented wines are added for complexity. The wine is aged on the yeast lees in the bottle for almost two years prior to disgorgement. With its vibrant, fruitful and crisp nature, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure and refined finish for many years, even decades, following its initial release.

Robert ParkerThe 2018 Blanc de Blancs has pretty scents of yellow apples, toast, roasted almonds, mushrooms and honey with flinty nuances. Medium-bodied, dry, bright and energetic with fluffy mousse, it fleshes out to toast and brioche tones on the finish.
California wines are a dazzling showcase of sunshine, diversity, and bold American spirit, stretching from the cool fog of Sonoma to the sun-drenched valleys of Paso Robles. Napa Valley steals the spotlight with its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, plush and powerful, while Sonoma charms with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay full of elegance and balance. Coastal breezes and varied soils let winemakers craft everything from crisp Sauvignon Blanc to juicy Zinfandel and even sparkling wines that rival Champagne. Innovation runs deep here, with both legendary estates and small boutique producers pushing boundaries in style and sustainability. Pour a glass of California wine and you’ll taste not just fruit and terroir, but the fearless, pioneering vibe that defines the Golden State.
Non-vintage sparkling wine, commonly referred to as NV or "Méthode Traditionnelle," is an amalgamation of wines from various years, skillfully blended to achieve a consistent and harmonious flavor profile. Produced using the traditional method, this sparkling wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, contributing to its effervescence and complexity. By intentionally avoiding a specific vintage designation, winemakers have the flexibility to maintain a reliable and recognizable style, allowing consumers to enjoy a reliable and delicious sparkling experience year after year.
