2003 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs 750ML
Product Information:
"Alluring aromas of tropical fruit and subtle hints of roasted pecans. On the palate, it has citrus characteristics and baked apple and ripe pear flavors that lead to a long, vibrant finish. It is crisp and refreshing in the Schramsberg tradition" - Winemakers Hugh Davies and Craig Roemer. Blanc de Blancs (white from white) made from Chardonnay is the counterpart to the Blanc de Noirs (white from black), made from the Pinot Noir. Blanc de Blancs was the first wine we produced in 1965 and was America’s first commercially produced Chardonnay based sparkling wine. The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp. Small lots of malolacticand barrel-fermented wines are added for complexity. The wine is aged on the yeast lees in the bottle for three years prior to disgorgement. With its bright fruit and crisp character, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure and refined finish for many years, even decades following its initial release.While this wine can be enjoyed by itself as an aperitif, it is also perfect with fresh oysters and other shellfish, crab cakes, cevicheand grilled sea bass. It is also delicious with lemon chicken and Thai curries. Serve with aged Gouda or other hard cheeses and asa counterpoint to soft triple creams.
