Schramsberg Demi-Sec Cremant

The Schramsberg Cremant Demi-sec is a delicate, off-dry sparkling wine: an American original. Cremant is French for creamy, and traditionally refers to a wine with light effervescence. It has approximately half the pressure of our other sparkling wines and presents a creamier texture with more exotic flavors. Schramsberg made California's first Cremant in 1972. After rigorous study, Jack and Jamie Davies chose a unique California grape named Flora (a cross of Semillon and Gewurztraminer developed at UC Davis) to be the core component of this sparkling wine. Flora unites the fruit-forward character of Gewurztraminer with the strength and depth of Semillon. Aging on the yeast for two and a half years prior to disgorgement adds complexity, yet the wine will retain its youthful appeal for 20 years or more.
