Schramsberg 2022 Brut Blanc de Blanc North Coast Sparkling Wine

The Schramsberg 2022 Brut Blanc de Blancs (North Coast) is bright, refined, and expressive—this Blanc de Blancs from Schramsberg melds citrus freshness with orchard fruit depth. It’s crisp yet layered, offering precision and sparkling elegance. Origins & Craftsmanship Harvested across the cool North Coast (65% Sonoma, 32% Napa, plus Mendocino and Marin), the 2022 vintage saw warm, drought-affected conditions that led to lower yields and concentrated fruit. The base wines are crafted from 100% Chardonnay—with 22% barrel fermentation—and undergo secondary fermentation in-bottle, aging on the lees for complexity before disgorgement  Tasting Profile Aroma & Flavor: Lifted notes of green apple, apple tart, custard, tangerine, and lemon-lime. The mid-palate delivers vibrant grapefruit, golden apple, and white peach, driven and poised  Finish: Clean and precise, with vanillin chiffon softness and a whisper of ginger spice  Quick Overview Characteristic Description Varietal Composition 100% Chardonnay County Breakdown 65% Sonoma, 32% Napa, 2% Mendocino, 1% Marin Vintage Challenges Drought and warm, accelerated harvest; concentrated fruit 🌿 Barrel Fermentation 22% of base wine Alcohol & Technicals 12.2% ABV; TA 0.88 g/100 mL; pH 3.12; RS 0.90 g/100 mL  Winemaking Process Traditional method with extended lees aging In essence, the 2022 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs is a shining example of precision-focused sparkling winemaking—bright and crisp, yet layered with fruit depth and textural elegance.
