Tasting notes
The 2015 Querencia has vibrant aromas of raspberry, strawberry and peach, which are rounded off by hints of dried orange peel and vanilla wafer. The palate sustains bright flavors of tangy red apple, cherry, and orange cream, that linger in the mouth thanks to a lively acidity on the finish."- Winemakers Sean Thompson and Hugh Davies
"The 2016 Brut Rosé has generous aromas of strawberry and orange zest. Its fruitful nose is complemented by notes of cinnamon, vanilla and watermelon. On the palate, there are juicy flavors of ruby grapefruit, stone fruit and raspberry compote, with soft touches of toasted hazelnut and shortbread cookie. The fruitful finish is fresh, with a bright clean acidity."
"The 2013 Brut Rosé Marin County has generous aromas of strawberry, rose petal and melon, followed by baked plum, dried orange peel and sugar cookie. The flavors are equally as generous with a mix of cranberry, lemon curd, and the freshness of cherry pie. The palate is creamy, rich and coating on entry, with a bright acidity that is balanced and refreshing."
"The Mirabelle Brut Rosé has generous fruitful aromas of red apple, pineapple and pear, followed by nuances of warm caramel and vanilla. In the mouth, there are flavors of guava and papaya, followed by Mandarin orange and Meyer lemon. The palate is crisp on entry with a citrus acidity and a lingering finish."
"The 2012 Brut Rosé Magnum has generous aromas of mixed red berries, orange blossom, and white peach. Its fruitful nose is complemented by notes of shortcake and cream. The palate bursts with flavors of raspberry sorbet, lemon custard, and summer apricot. The wine has a fresh and juicy acidity which drives to a supple, round finish.

2013 Marin County Brut Rosé
Mirabelle Brut Rosé
Close
Marin County is bordered on three sides with water, the Pacific Ocean to the west, San Pablo Bay and San Francisco Bay to the east, and the Golden Gate to the south. Marins coastal influence results in winters that are warmer than neighboring North Coast winegrowing regions, promoting an early bud break. During the summer, this marine influence keeps temperatures moderately cool during the hottest part of the day, affording a slower ripening of the fruit and longer development on the vine. Because of this long growing season, Marin County wines are balanced with superb natural acidity and bright fruit flavors.
Due to its maritime influence, Marin County is favored for producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Three vineyard sources comprise this Brut Rosé bottling. Redding Ranch Vineyard is located high up in the hills overlooking the small town of Nicasio. Ranging from 800-1,000 feet in elevation, the vineyard sits on a west-facing slope with great sun exposure. Just east of Redding Ranch, where the coastal fog funnels its way through the Nicasio gap, is Skywalker Vineyard. Also, high up in the hills of Marin, this vineyard has its own Mediterranean-like micro-climate. The third site, Grossi Vineyard, is located west of the town of Novato, tucked away near Stafford Lake. This site is protected from high winds with a lower elevation and slightly warmer climate.
Though we first harvested fruit from Marin back in 1998 and have produced two previous wines focused on vineyards from this region, this is our inaugural release of a sparkling rosé crafted from Marin. With over four years of aging en tirage, this vibrant and complex wine combines a rich texture with excellent drive on the palate. This bright, crisp sparkler will age beautifully over the next 20+ years, developing attractive caramelized, nutty and toasted flavors and aromas. While primarily Pinot Noir, small amounts of select Chardonnay lots are added to the Brut Rosé Marin blend, lending additional backbone and length to the palate. Made in limited quantities, our winemaking team is very excited to release this sparkling rosé wine.
The 2013 vintage is described as an "early, even and excellent" growing season. The season began early, with a warm and dry spring, and beautiful weather extended all the way through an early harvest. Fruit showed great balance of acidity and sugar, good color and tannin structure and optimal flavor development.

Querencia Brut Rosé was created to honor the memory and spirit of our cofounder Jack Davies. Jack Davies was a pioneer in the early days of the Napa Valley Agricultural Preserve, and fought for environmental issues with dedication and vigor. To insure that Jack's work was kept alive, Schramsberg established the Jack L. Davies Fund. Proceeds from the sale of Querencia contribute to the Jack L. Davies Fund, which supports agricultural preservation and education efforts in Napa County. Jack Davies encouraged the community to support the preserve that became a model for conservation of agricultural lands across the country. James Hickey, then the Napa County Planning Director, and architect of the agricultural preserve, named the wine. The name is a Spanish word "meaning the deep and abiding affection one has for the place one calls home.
Querencia is produced solely from fruit grown in the Napa Valley Carneros region. Chardonnay forms the blend's core, providing a relatively light-bodied, crisp and tangy palate. Small additions of Pinot Noir fermented with skin contact add berry brightness and color. This brut rosé sparkling wine is hearty enough to complement the robust flavors of Mediterranean cooking and delicate enough to be served with a truly broad range of appetizers.

Schramsberg Brut Rosé is flavorful, complex and dry, making it both versatile with food and delicious by itself as an apéritif. The character of the wine is most strongly influenced by bright, flavorful Pinot Noir grown in Carneros, Anderson Valley, and the Sonoma and Marin coastal areas. A few small lots of Pinot Noir are fermented in contact with their skins to add depth and subtle color to this unique sparkling wine. Chardonnay gives spice, structure and length on the palate.
Hand picking, careful handling and gentle pressing produce a wine of delicacy, free of skin and seed tannin. Following the fall harvest and base winemaking period, an extensive process of blending trial and refinement is carried out in the spring. The finished blend is aged on the yeast in the bottle for about two years, just enough to achieve refined effervescence and toastiness without diminishing its refreshing, vibrant appeal.
Enjoy this rich, delicious sparkler on almost any occasion: at your favorite restaurant, a special dinner at home, at a beach picnic or a backyard barbecue. A very versatile wine; try it with sushi, salmon, rock shrimp, pizza, roast chicken, BBQ ribs, burgers, chocolate raspberry tarts and creamy cheeses with summer fruits.

The counterpart to our Mirabelle Brut, the Mirabelle Brut Rosé is a specially crafted blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Schramsberg’s select cool-climate vineyards in the Carneros, Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast and Marin County areas of Northern California.
The grapes are picked by hand and gently pressed to provide superior quality juice for the production of this balanced, refreshing rosé bubbly. In the spring following the fall harvest, base wines are individually evaluated and carefully blended by our winemakers. Pinot Noir lots, including a few fermented with skin contact, provide brightness of berry fruit and body, while Chardonnay lots lend length and zest to the palate. Additional flavor depth and aromatic complexity results from the blending of base wine lots aged in barrels and tanks for one or more years. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and rests in Schramsberg’s historic Diamond Mountain caves for approximately two years. Following the en tirage aging, an extensive dosage trial process produces the ideal finishing touch, and the sparkling wine is ready to be enjoyed. The finished Brut Rosé exhibits fresh, elegant, and toasty aromas that lead into lively and delicious fruit flavors on the palate.
The multi-vintage Mirabelle Rosé is delicious on its own, and it also pairs well with everything from grilled salmon, country fried chicken, BBQ pork ribs, Caprese salad, poke tuna, classic Hawaiian pizza or simple pastas.

The magnum offering of this wine has only occurred twice before. Once from the 2008 vintage and once from the 2009 vintage. In 2012, we once again decided to bottle this delicious offering in the larger format, seeing how popular it was with our fans.
Hand picking, careful handling and gentle pressing produce a wine of delicacy, free of skin and seed tannin. Following the fall harvest and base winemaking period, an extensive process of blending trial and refinement is carried out in the spring. The finished blend is aged on the yeast in the magnum bottle for five and a half years to achieve a refined effervescence and toastiness without diminishing its refreshing, vibrant appeal.
