In 1965, Jack and Jamie Davies founded Schramsberg and set out to make world-class sparkling wine in the true méthode traditionelle style on the property originally established in 1862 by German immigrant Jacob Schram. Theirs was the first California winery to provide a Blanc de Blancs in 1965 followed by a Blanc de Noirs in 1967. Quality focus drives all aspects of wine production starting with access to over 120 cool-climate sites in Napa, Marin, Mendocino and Sonoma. The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp featuring apple, pear and citrus character. Blends utilize barrel-fermented lots and older, reserve lots to add complexity and richness. The wine is aged on the yeast lees in the bottle for almost two years prior to disgorgement.
